Empoli vs Atalanta Prediction & Betting Tips (30 October)

Expected in the fight not to go down this season, Empoli is currently 17th in Serie A and is a small point ahead of the first relegation. The team logically worried all its fans because of a completely failed start to the championship. On the other hand, a return to form has been observed since the arrival on the bench of Aurelio Andreazzoli.

Indeed, Francesco Caputo's teammates have only lost once in the last 4 days, for 2 victories and 1 draw. Last Monday, they defied all predictions to win in the lair of Fiorentina 0-2, which allowed them to escape from the red zone.

The Empoli coach still deplores the failures of defense captain Pezzella, the disappointing Kovalenko, the important defender Ismajli and the striker Shpendi (0 goals in 6 games). Scorer in the victory against Fiorentina last Monday, veteran Caputo (36 years old, 1 goal in SA) should be brought back up front. Substitute Gyasi also found the net. Struggling in the offensive domain, Empoli has the worst attack in the championship with only 3 goals scored after 9 days. As for Atalanta, the striker recruited this summer, El Bilal Touré (ex-Almeria), is obviously missing, who was seriously injured shortly after his arrival.

Experienced defender Palomino must also withdraw. On the other hand, the important Dutch midfielder Koopmeiners (2 goals and 2 assists in SA) returned to the field this week. Usually a substitute, striker Muriel stood out this week in C3 with a double. He could still return to the bench this weekend since the other attackers De Ketelaere (1 goal and 2 assists in SA), Lookman (3 goals in SA) and Scamacca (2 goals in SA) are announced as starters.
