The Carrarese vs Empoli prediction is one of the most talked-about topics among Serie B fans this week, and with good reason. As these two sides prepare to meet at Stadio dei Marmi on January 23, 2026, at 19:30 GMT, both teams find themselves side by side in the standings, separated by just a single point. With Carrarese sitting 10th and Empoli 9th, this match has all the ingredients for a tense, tactical battle—and perhaps a few surprises for anyone who enjoys sports betting.
Let’s start with a look at the recent shape of both teams. Carrarese have been punching slightly above their weight in recent weeks. Their last five matches include a 1-0 win over Bari, a hard-fought draw with Mantova, a loss against Monza, a win against Virtus Entella, and a narrow defeat to Sampdoria. Most recently, they snatched a 2-1 away victory at Avellino, showing real grit and a knack for timely goals. Not bad for a squad valued at €17.40 million, especially when you consider their underdog status in several of those fixtures.
Empoli, meanwhile, have had a mixed bag of results. A 1-0 win over Cesena and a 1-1 draw with Frosinone bookend a run of generally steady performances. They’ve shown resilience—especially in their ability to grind out points away from home. Their squad value is double that of their hosts at €36.00 million, but as anyone who’s followed Serie B knows, money doesn’t always buy happiness (or points).
On the tactical front, Carrarese’s coach Antonio Calabro has favored a solid defensive trio, supported by a midfield engine room featuring Hasa, Zuelli, and Schiavi. The wings are patrolled by Bouah and Belloni, with Rubino providing support to lone striker Abiuso. This setup has helped Carrarese keep things tight at the back while remaining dangerous on the counter.
Empoli’s manager Alessio Dionisi is known for his disciplined, organized approach. With a coaching staff that could probably field its own five-a-side team, Dionisi’s focus has been on defensive solidity and quick transitions. The likes of Guarino and Elia will need to be careful, though—both are one yellow card away from suspension.
Looking at the sports betting odds, Carrarese are slight favorites at 2.42 for a home win, while Empoli are priced at 3.3. The draw sits at 3.3, which tells us the bookmakers are expecting a close contest. Historically, these teams haven’t shared much recent head to head history in Serie B, making this Carrarese vs Empoli prediction even more intriguing for punters.
The match has also been classified as high-risk for public order, with local authorities considering ticket restrictions—so expect a charged atmosphere, even if the crowd is a bit thinner than usual.

In summary, the Carrarese vs Empoli prediction boils down to a tight, tactical affair where defensive solidity could trump attacking flair. If you’re looking for safe sports betting tips, under 3.3 goals seems the way to go. For those chasing bigger odds, a Carrarese win at home might just be the ticket—especially given their recent form and fighting spirit.
Whatever your pick, this Serie B encounter promises drama, tension, and at least a couple of moments to get fans off their seats—just maybe not too many goals. Happy betting, and may your slips be green!
