Both Teams to Score: Yes
Seven of Parma’s last eight have seen both teams score, while Empoli have managed at least one goal in five of their last seven: this trend suggests that both sides will find the net.
Total Goals Under 2.5: Yes
Scoring fewer than three goals in five of the last seven matches, under 2.5 goals at 9/10 is a viable option to look into. Also, Empoli’s recent trips to Stadio Ennio Tardini have mostly been tight and low-scoring.
