We are going to enter the last matchday of the Italian Serie A this weekend. The Stakes are mostly low, as we know the champion, and the 8th spot won’t be breaking into the top 7 to steal a place in Europe.
The real question is placed between the 5th and 7th spots, as they still have a shot to switch around. Also, we should see what happens between Verona and Spezia, who are fighting to get the points needed to be safe from relegation and leave the other to that fate.
We are, however, focusing on another match, as the clash between the second-placed Lazio, and the fourteenth-placed Empoli will be an interesting one to finish the season.
When:
Saturday, June 3rd at 1:00 pm ET at the Carlo Castellani Stadium
Moneyline odds:
Empoli FC +246
Lazio +104
Draw:
+270

Why Bet on Empoli?
Empoli comes in at 10 wins, 13 draws, and 14 losses. It was a successful season for the team from the outskirts of Florence, which has accustomed us to be a yoyo club since Mauricio Sarri left some years ago.
The Azzurri scored a late equalizer against relegation-threatened Verona to pick up one point from the match, but they will have much bigger fish to fry against Sergej and Co.
They have little to play for, being a solid midtable side this season, but are in fine form ahead of Sunday’s clash.
Why Bet on Lazio?
Lazio comes in with 21 wins, 8 draws, and 8 losses, and will come to visitors, as they enter the Carlo Castellani Stadium against Empoli.
They will be aiming to clinch second position in the standings when they take on their last rivals of the season.
The Biancocelesti want to put icing on the cake on a very successful Serie A campaign and we are positive that they will go for a win in Saturday’s clash.
Final Betting Analysis: Empoli vs. Lazio
Lazio is more of a team than Empoli and we predict that the capital club will prove their worth on the field. Being the Heavy favorites due to not losing any of the last six matches against this weekend’s opponents, Il Aquile comes in confident.
That being said, the hosts are not going to make it easy for them in the final game of the season, with Paolo Zanetti’s side enjoying a five-match unbeaten run.
Recent clashes between the two teams further enhance the likelihood of goal-fest this weekend, with an average of 4.5 goals scored per game over the last three meetings. These previous clashes may also provide some inspiration for Empoli, as the last two results have ended in a draw.
The locals had success against the big teams this season, taking points from both Milan teams and Juventus. In this context, a draw seems like the most likely outcome.
Go for a draw at +270. If you go for the tie at such odds, you could get $270 for a total payout of $370.
