THE PREDICTION
Empoli’s promotion last season and the joys of that triumph were quickly walked over by the departure of their manager, Alessio Dionisi. Dionisi replaced De Zerbi at Sassuolo and has left Empoli without their leader but some good transfer business, such as the signings of Patrick Cutrone and Andrea Pinamonti to add to the Empoli fire power, means they’ve started the season well. A shock 1-0 win in Turin against Juventus followed a battling but eventually fruitless 3-1 opening day loss at home to Lazio. They come up against their fellow newly-promoted side in Venezia. Venezia, like Empoli, have also done a lot of transfer business but they started the league season with back-to-back defeats to nil against Napoli and Udinese. They even had a 4-0 mid-season friendly loss to Brescia during the international break. Home advantage, as well as the deficiencies of the away team, has Empoli installed as the relatively clear favourites.
