Empoli vs Atalanta Prediction and Betting Tips | February 23rd 2025

Empoli will host Atalanta at the Carlo Castellani on Sunday in another round of the 2024-25 Serie A campaign. The home side enjoyed a strong start to their season but have completely lost their way over the last two months and now sit 17th in the table, just one point above the drop zone.

They were beaten 3-0 by Udinese in their last match and had multiple chances to get on the scoresheet themselves but were guilty of wasteful finishing as they recorded a seventh consecutive winless outing against the Bianconeri.

Atalanta, meanwhile, have endured a difficult run of results in recent games, most recently crashing out of the UEFA Champions League after suffering a 5-2 aggregate defeat to Belgian side Club Brugge in the knockout playoffs.

The Bergamo outfit played out a disappointing goalless draw against Cagliari in their last league outing and could have no major complaints about the result after managing just one shot on target in the opposition box throughout the contest. However, they remain third in the table, only five points off the top and will be looking to get their campaign back on track this weekend.

Empoli vs Atalanta Prediction

The Azzurri Empolesi have lost their last three games on the bounce and are without a win in their last 10. They are winless in their last six home matches and have work to do if they are to save their top-flight status.
