What to expect

We expect about 1.3 goals from Empoli and 1.4 from Cremonese, which is as level as our reading of a game gets. Put together, that is around 2.6 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.

Cremonese come into this on two straight defeats. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.

Our pick: Both teams to score. Both of these carry enough of a threat to find the net (xG 1.3-1.3), and we make both teams to score about 56%. Expect goals at either end rather than a one-sided shut-out.

We put the chance of that landing at about 56 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.77, which works out at about 56 out of 100. The two sit close together, so this is a lean rather than a standout price.

What the numbers say
Empoli have won two of their last five.
Cremonese have won three of their last five.

One thing to watch

One well-drilled defence, or a game that turns one-sided, and this is gone. We make it about 56% and the price sits right on top of that, so there's little cushion if it turns.
