Prediction for the Serie A match which will take place on December 22. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Empoli

The team faced Torino away in the last round. The Blues tried to play in attack and even scored two goals in the first half, but both were canceled after a VAR review. One of the opponent's goals was also canceled, but the other was counted. Ultimately, it was 0:1. Empoli remained in the relegation zone but was only one point behind, saving 17th place.

Lazio

The Romans played twice last week, and both times lost with the same score, 0:2. First, in Madrid, the team missed the chance to top the Champions League group by losing to Atletico. Then, Inter didn't give more opportunities to score points at the weekend.

Thus, in Serie A, they dropped to 11th place. In the Champions League, in round 16, the team will play against Bayern. Lazio's success in both tournaments was not expected. However, there is still the Italian Cup, where the Roman team has already reached the quarterfinals, where they will meet the winner of the pair Roma - Cremonese.

Expert Betting Tips

Lazio has been alternating bad matches with quality matches this season. So, it is quite possible that after two 0:2 from Atletico and Inter, the team will have a good meeting and score crucial points, especially against Empoli, who, despite the obvious progress under Aurelio Andreazolli, are still far from being able to pick up points in matches against opponents of Lazio's level. We bet on the visitors, as well as on goals. Empoli are still not always effective in the closing stages, but from game to game, they are improving in this component. The Romans play much more efficiently away than at home - 7 out of 8 matches through TO (1.5).
