Betting suggestion:

The two teams are not very different on the level of game models. On the one hand, Cagliari enjoys playing on the counterattack, while Empoli also favors direct football for the attack. In this way, we believe that the teams will take advantage of their strengths in the attack, so risking in favor of goals is a good option.

Analysis Empoli

After having finished 1st last season, the home team got the promotion and therefore makes its debut in this competition with high hopes.

Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches.

Empoli had an official start of the season to forget, having faced and lost at home to Cittadella by 0-3, in a game to count for the Italian Cup. It is important to remember that the locals have reached the first division this year and for this reason the goal will be to achieve the maintenance as fast as possible. In this game against Cagliari, coach Aurelio Andreazzoli should play in the usual tactical system, the 4-4-2, with La Gumina and Caputo being the most advanced men.
