Palermo host Empoli at Stadio Renzo Barbera, Palermo on Saturday, Jan 9 at 3:00 PM in the Serie B.
Palermo come into this fixture in red-hot form (4W from last 5). Empoli travel in mixed form (2W 0D 3L), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Palermo won their last outing, while Empoli suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.
Head-to-head records offer little separation — Palermo and Empoli have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (3W–3D–4W). Their last encounter ended in Palermo won 3–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 4.4 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Palermo a slight edge, but Empoli are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
