| Venue: | Carlo Castellani stadium |
| Prediction: | Empoli 2-1 Cremonese |
| Bookmaker: |
The hosts suffered their third defeat in five league games last season as league leaders Napoli lost 2-0 in their midweek tie on Tuesday. It was their third Serie A defeat in their previous four games.
Cremonese has endured a slow start to their return to the Italian top flight and is yet to win this season. They are the only team in Serie A this season without a win.
They avoided defeat for the third straight game in their last game as they are a goalless draw at home with defending champions AC Milan on Tuesday. They are 18th in the league table, seven points, and four behind the hosts.
Gli Azzurri has two of three wins at home this season and is confident of a positive result here. They have been unbeaten at home against away teams for more than 70 years, so defeat seems unlikely. They have the second-worst goalscoring record in Serie A with just ten goals and will likely struggle here.
Cremonese has scored nine of 11 goals on the road this season and is likely to find one in this competition. Given the visiting team’s winless record in away games this season, we back the hosts to a narrow victory.
