APWin Prediction

2nd Half Over 0.5 Goals

The APWin team has examined the key betting markets and identified the most valuable opportunities.

👉 Our prediction is: over 9.5 corners

Our top tip for Mantova vs Empoli is to take advantage of the corners market, particularly taking the over on 9.5 corners. There is good value to be had in that bet, which is priced at 1.66.

Both teams need to combine for at least 10 corners to win the bet, which may seem like a lot. But based on their statistical profile for this season, we expect them to easily clear that mark in their upcoming matchup.

👉 Our prediction is: Empoli win or draw

Our top tip for this match is to bet Empoli to win or draw on the Double Chance market.

While it is tough to go away from home and pick up a positive result like a win or a draw, we have seen through recent form and season statistics that Empoli has what it takes to accomplish that task. And the fact that Empoli only needs to avoid defeat makes it a more achievable result.
