Empoli vs Atalanta Prediction

Empoli have seen an upturn in form recently, with two wins in four games, keeping three clean sheets. They have scored once in six home Serie A games, though.

Giuseppe Pezzella remains a long-term absentee, while Ardian Ismajli has resumed training. Manager Aurelio Andreazzoli has achieved the objective of pulling his team out of the relegation zone and is expected to stick to the same XI that won 2-0 against Fiorentina last week.

Atalanta, meanwhile, have one defeat in eight games across competitions, scoring 13 times and conceding six. They have won five of their last six away Serie A meetings against Empoli.

Gian Piero Gasperini's side travel to Florence without Jose Luis Palomino, who's with a thigh injury, while El Bilal Toure is also sidelined for a few months.

Considering Empoli's struggles in recent home games in Serie A and Atalanta's upper hand in recent meetings, expect the visitors to record a narrow win.

Prediction: Empoli 1-2 Atalanta
