Verona vs Empoli Prediction: the Hosts Have to Move to the Safe Place

Prediction for the Serie A Verona vs Empoli match, which will take place on May 28th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Salvatore Bocchetti's team had a good run, failing only one match out of six between April 8 and May 7. Then, however, Verona suffered two defeats. First, they lost at home 0:1 to Torino and Atalanta (1:3) away. These defeats kept Verona in the relegation zone. Being just one point behind 17th place gives them a good chance of staying in the top flight. In addition to Empoli, Verona still has an away game against AC Milan, so they really need to gain as many points as possible.

The Blues, who have already secured their place in Serie A for next season, hosted Juventus in the previous round. Right on the eve of this game, they were again deprived, this time ten points, so Max Allegri's team was not in the best emotional state. Empoli took full advantage of this and thrashed the top team 4:1. Francesco Caputo sealed the double, with Sebastiano Luperto and Roberto Piccoli also getting on the scoresheet. After a fine victory, Empoli may not even enter the field in the remaining two rounds.

A win over Juventus, much less a blowout, is always a big deal for any Serie A club. So Empoli, after celebrating the occasion perfectly, could well lose concentration in a match against Verona, the more so because Paolo Zanetti's side has already solved their tournament goals. Verona will be super-motivated and surely take advantage of their opponent's lack of motivation to earn the vital three points. We don't think it will be very productive. Due to the problematic tournament situation, Verona will play very focused again.
