EMPOLI v ATALANTA – Click here to bet
Empoli are currently 17th on the log with just 2 wins in 9 starts, but those 2 wins have come in their last 4 matches. Last time out they beat Fiorentina 2-0 on the road, a game where they started 13/2 underdogs. They battled at home this season winning only 1 of 5 matches and scoring only 1 goal in those 5 games while conceding 4.
Atalanta are 6th on the table with 5 wins and a draw in their opening 9 matches they beat Genoa 2-0 at home last time out and on the road they have won 2 and lost 3 of 5 matches which has seen a total of 16 goals scored, 8 for Atalanta and 8 for their opponents.
Head-to-Head
Atalanta did the double over Empoli last season and they have won this fixture the last two years.
Verdict
The visitors should be too strong here and I am backing them to win by more than a goal.
Suggested Bet: Handicap, Atalanta -1.5 goals at 17/10

LAZIO v FIORENTINA – Click here to bet
Lazio are currently 9th on the log and are working their way up the table having won 3 of their last 4 matches. They beat Sassuolo 2-1 on the road last time out and prior to that, their last home game was a 3-2 win over Atalanta, a game where they started slight underdogs.
Overall at home this season they have played 4, winning 2 games and drawing 1 and Lazio have scored 6 goals and conceded 4 in front of their home fans.
Fiorentina are 5th on the log, but they saw a 5 match unbeaten streak ended last time out when they were shocked 2-0 at home by Empoli. Fiorentina had started 9/20 favourites for the match. They did win their last game 3-1 away at Napoli and they were on offer at 9/2 before kick-off that day and they have only lost 1 of their 5 away matches this season, scoring 10 goals and conceding 7.
Head-to-Head
This fixture was drawn 1-1 last season and Lazio beat Fiorentina in the reverse fixture 4-0 on the road. Fiorentina haven’t beaten Lazio in their last 4 attempts.
Verdict
Both of these teams are playing some good football and I think we are going to get a tight contest here and I am betting on a repeat of last year’s draw.
Suggested Bet: The draw at 12/5
