Frosinone vs Empoli Betting Tips

Frosinone have one point so far this season. They’ve given up eight goals in five games and have scored just two. One of those goals earned them a 1-1 draw with defending Serie A champions Juventus, and there are signs in general that the club are starting to get up to speed at this level.

Purely on paper and based on results so far this season, the game against Empoli represents an opportunity. They’ve already lost potentially important games against Atalanta and Bologna this season, but their previous two home matches have come against tough opposition in Torino and Roma.

Empoli themselves lost to Atalanta last week. The defeat ended a promising run of games that had seen them earn a draw against Napoli and secure an important first win of the season against Udinese.

There are still some questions about Empoli and their identity. The club established itself as a tough to play against strong defensive team in 2014-15, and did well playing that way, but they’ve conceded nine and scored six through five games this season.

Three Reasons for Betting Tips

1. Defensive mindsets

Neither team is entering this match-up with attacking on their mind. They do not want to give up this game away recognising that this is an extremely important three points.

2. Empoli slow pace down

We still think Empoli are working towards a slower and more defensive game plan. They’ve not succeeded for much of the season, but the ambition is clearly there and we think they’ll find more success against Frosinone in terms of controlling the pace.

3. Lack of goal-scorers

When we look at these two teams, goal-scorers do not jump off the page at us. A lack of finish could, perhaps should, hurt both teams in this match-up.
