Udinese and Empoli lock horns at Bluenergy Stadium on February 16, 2025, at 14:00 UTC, with the hosts looking to capitalize on their recent momentum. With odds of 1.9 for a home win, 3.4 for a draw, and 4.2 for an away victory, the bookmakers clearly favor Udinese. But does the data back this up? Let’s dive into the numbers.

Our AI model strongly leans towards a home win (1) with a trust level of 6.0/10. Udinese’s recent shock victory over Napoli away from home (despite the 7.7 odds against them) suggests they have the firepower to handle Empoli. Meanwhile, Empoli’s own surprise away win against Fiorentina (odds 8.4) shows they can punch above their weight, but consistency remains an issue.

Looking at the goal market, the best bet appears to be over 1.5 goals, with a trust rating of 6.1/10 and odds of 1.37. Historically, 75.3% of Serie A matches have seen at least two goals, and with our AI predicting a 2-1 final scoreline, this bet offers solid value.

Possession-wise, Udinese is expected to control 58% of the ball, giving them the upper hand in dictating play. They are projected to take 12 shots, with 4 on target, while Empoli is expected to register 9 shots, with only 2 testing the keeper. This suggests Udinese will create more clear-cut chances, reinforcing the case for a home win.

Discipline-wise, expect a relatively clean game, with both teams predicted to receive just one yellow card each. Corners are estimated at 7 total, with Empoli surprisingly edging Udinese 4-3 in this department.

Their last head-to-head clash ended in a 1-1 draw on May 19, 2024, but with Udinese’s recent form and home advantage, they should have the edge this time. Given that home teams win 41.1% of Serie A matches, the 1.9 odds on Udinese look like a smart bet.

Best bets:
- Udinese to win (1) @ 1.9 – Strong home advantage and recent form.
- Over 1.5 goals @ 1.37 – A high-probability bet backed by league trends.

Play smart, trust the data, and may the odds be ever in your favor!
