It’s our opinion that Galletti could employ a 3-4-2-1 system, handing starts to Michele Cerofolini, Andrea Cistana, Cas Odenthal, Valerio Mantovani, Kevin Piscopo, Giulio Maggiore, Federico Artioli, Mehdi Dorval, Tomás Esteves, Emanuele Rao and Gabriele Moncini.

✨ Prediction

Looking at these two, we feel that Empoli and AS Bari could both well score here although it’s hard to see a clear-cut winner.

Let’s see how it plays out, but a draw is looking likely to us. We therefore see a very even match with a 1-1 scoreline at the end of this game.
