Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

Our calculations suggest that it's fairly unlikely that this fixture will deliver 4 goals or more, and the odds and stats are in line with KO's predictive algorithm on this one. Palermo and Empoli have rarely been involved in a high volume of goals of late, whether that be in Serie B individually or in head-to-head clashes. So, in the absence of a strong favourite win or double chance market, we're going for under 3.5 goals. The UK's top bookies have that available at a best price of 1.25.
