Atalanta BC will be without Rafael Toloi, Luis Muriel, Giuseppe Pezzella, and Josip Ilicic.
Betting on Empoli FC
Record: 9-17-11 | League Standing: 14
Empoli FC have a tally of 38 points so far this season and will maximize every opportunity in front of them. They dropped points against US Salernitana 1919 1-1 last Saturday and to date, the squad has managed nine wins, 17 losses, and 11 draws in 37 matches. When they have prevailed, it’s likely been due to the actions of Andrea Pinamonti and Szymon Zurkowski. Can the pair guide Empoli FC to a win here?
