Atalanta vs Empoli Betting Tips

Atalanta are quietly enduring a very poor run of form. They started the 2015/16 Serie A season extremely brightly and were regular members of the league’s top half during the first three months of the season, but a win-less run that dates back to November has seen them slide down the table. Their poor form was just about capped off in mid-week action as they became Verona’s first win of the season.

Empoli are looking for a first win in four games, though they’ve drawn three of those. They’re comfortably positioned in eighth place and they’ve done a good job all season of beating the teams that they should.

Head-to-Head

Atalanta won the game played earlier this season, 1-0, though the two teams fortunes has changed since then. They drew both of their games last season, including a 2-2 result in Atalanta.

Team News

It’s a significant injury list for Atalanta, who may be deprived of the services of midfielder Luca Cigarini and defenders Boukary Drame, Gianpaolo Bellini and Gabriel Paletta.

Meanwhile, Empoli have concerns around Andrea Costa and Marko Livaja.

Reason for Betting Tips

Empoli are playing good football, they’re set up to play well away from home and they’ve been drawing a lot of football games. Playing against an out of sorts Atalanta, who would probably be grateful for a draw, they should be able to get at least something out of this match-up points wise.
