Juve Stabia vs Empoli Match Preview

Juve Stabia ended the year in the best possible way, prevailing 1-0 against Kozenza, at home. The winning goal came in the dying minutes of the match, by a penalty kick. Even in a difficult way, Juve Stabia stayed undefeated after 4 games (3-1-0), creating a two-point difference from the play-out zone.

Empoli after their home draw against Livorno, continue to disappoint, remaining winless for four consecutive games (0-2-2). The hosts opened the scoreline quite early in the first half, but Empoli managed to respond directly and equalized at the 19th minute. For the rest of the game, the hosts had the ball possession but they didn't have clear chances to score the winner. Now, with their 23 points they are just one point away from the play-out zone.

Despite Empoli have started with great ambitions this season, their reality is far from the theory, and, what's more, they seem no signs of improvement so far. Empoli have one of the worst records in Serie B, with 6 points in 9 away games (1-3-5) and just 6 goals scored. The hosts are the favorites in this one, and with the home win offered at 3.42 odds, it is definitely the value choice.
