EMPOLI - LIVORNO PREDICTIONS

Serie B playoff final 1st leg sees Empoli go head to head with Livorno. Both sides deserved to make the finals as they were both well ahead of Brescia and Novara respectively.

Empoli are in very good form but go into the game as outsiders to make the jump to Italy Serie A. They are in good form with 7 wins and 3 draw and 1 defeats from their last 11 Italy Serie B games.  With 19 goals scored and just 6 conceded (with six clean sheets in that time) The team from Tuscany are a very strong all round side. They finished the season in 4^thand ended up 7 points behind rivals Livorno, with a record of 20 wins, 13 draws and 9 defeats. Empoli have a very strong attacking squad and have two of the deadliest strikers in Serie B. Veteren duo Massimo Maccarrone and Francesco Tavano have 40 goals between them with fellow frontman Riccardo Saponara chipping in with 13 in what is a fearsome front three. Empoli dominated Novara in the semi finals in both legs. Holding the away leg in 1 -1 draw they then hammered Novara at home 4-1.

 Livorno were undone one the final day of the season as they went down to Serie B winners Sassuolo. The side from Tuscany were the clear 3^rd best side in the division and are clear favourites to progress in this tie and also to get promoted to Serie A. Livorno are in good form with 5 wins and 3 draws and 2 defeats from their last 10 Italy Serie B games.  With 18 goals scored and 9 conceded the team are playing well at the moment. Livorno went into the last game of the season with a tough match and ended up losing in a very tight affair. They finished the season in 3^rd and ended up 9 points ahead of rivals Empoli, with a record of 23 wins, 11 draws and 8 defeats. Livorno have a very strong attacking squad and key players are Brazilians Paulinho and Emerson, with strong support from livewire striker Federico Dionisi.

EMPOLI - LIVORNO BETTING TIPS

A two legged tie with slightly amended rules from the semi finals in case of a tie. If sides are locked together after two legs the game has a 30 minute extra time period in which a draw still would mean Livorno prevailed having finished higher in the league. More pressure heaped on Empoli in what should be a fascinating double header. The two games between these sides in the league so far have both ended in home wins and I take a low scoring home win in this match. Its a really close game for me but the home win just edges it in a two legged affair.  Empoli to win at 2.40 with bet365 is the bet.
