Palermo vs Empoli prediction: stats, tactics and best bets

Palermo vs Empoli prediction time is here, and the calendar says Saturday, 2026-02-07 at 16:15 GMT (17:15 local) at the Stadio Renzo Barbera. Palermo arrive flying high in 4th with 33 points and a 10-match unbeaten run, while Empoli sit 11th on 28 points and are still looking for the “on” switch in attack. It’s a classic Serie B story: one team riding momentum, the other trying to rediscover it.

Team form, table context, and what it means for bettors

Filippo Inzaghi’s Palermo have turned the Barbera into a tough workplace for visitors, winning five straight home league games. Recent results like the 1-0 over Padova and that 3-0 away win at Bari back up the idea that this side can win without needing chaos. They’re also top of the clean-sheet charts with 11, and have kept three in a row—so if you’re shopping total goals markets, you can already see where this is going.

Empoli, coached by Alessio Dionisi, have been far less stable: their recent sequence (D-L-L-W-D) includes a 0-0 with Modena, and they’ve gone 270+ league minutes without scoring. Dionisi even called Palermo a “battleship” recently—rare honesty that will resonate with anyone who has watched Palermo defend a one-goal lead like it’s a family heirloom.

Tactics, injuries, and the key match-ups

Both teams have often lined up in a 3-4-2-1. Palermo’s version is more direct: get the ball into the right areas and let Joel Pohjanpalo (13 league goals) do the finishing, with Antonio Palumbo (6 assists) supplying the ideas. Empoli prefer patient possession, but lately the final pass has felt like it’s stuck in traffic.

Palermo absences: Giangiacomo Magnani is out (hamstring). Claudio Gomes and Niccolò Pierozzi are back in training and could feature.
Empoli absences: Pietro Pellegri is out long-term (ACL), with Gabriele Indragoli and Simone Romagnoli also unavailable.
Head to head: Palermo won 3-1 away at Empoli in December 2025—an important note for anyone weighing “can Empoli nick it?” questions.

Palermo vs Empoli prediction: odds, model tips, and projected stats

The betting odds point strongly to Palermo: Home 1.72, Draw 3.7, Away 5.35. Our numbers still expect Palermo to control the ball (59% vs 41%) and outshoot Empoli (15–8), with on-target shots projected at 4–2. Corners lean Palermo too (4–3, total 7), while discipline looks even (2 yellow cards each). Market values are close (€34.50m vs €36.00m), but form usually beats balance sheets.

Best tip: Under 3.5 total goals (trust 7.4/10, odds 1.31). NerdyTips’ AI agrees—this match profile screams “few goals.”
1X2 market call: Away win “2” (confidence 1.72, odds 5.35). It’s a high-risk stab, not a safe base bet.
Expected score: 0:1, with a 0:0 half-time score.

How do we connect the dots? Palermo’s clean sheets and Empoli’s scoring drought naturally support under 3.5. The spicy part is the away-win lean: Empoli have shown they can spoil a trip when priced long—like that surprise 1:1 at Como on 2025-03-29 at big odds—so the model is leaving room for a “smash-and-grab” if Palermo waste chances. Still, for most bettors, the sensible Palermo vs Empoli prediction is simple: back the low-scoring script, and let the goals take the day off.
