Empoli vs Chievo Prediction

There is no doubt that the match is sizing in favor of the home team. Empoli is at the top of the table for quite some time and this gives a slight edge over the opponents in the league. The host enjoys the ground advantage in the middle and the visitor has lost four of their last five outings.

However, the host has struggled in the past against Chievo in their h2h meetings. It has to be noted that their last six h2h clashes since 2018 have ended in draws. Thus, to be safer, the draw no bet over Empoli will probably be the best bet for the punters in the encounter.
