Two Serie A strugglers come together on Friday evening as Empoli takes on Udinese at the Stadio Carlo Castellani.

Empoli vs Udinese Betting Tips - Under 2.5 goals

Seven games into the new season, both teams already look likely to be facing a battle to avoid relegation from Serie A.

Empoli comes into this contest with just three points collected after losing six of their first seven matches, including a heavy 3:0 loss at Bologna last weekend.

Looking desperately short in attacking quality, Empoli have scored just one league goal - that in their victory against Salernitana. However, they failed to net in all six losses since the start of the campaign. 

Visiting Udinese arrive at the Stadio Carlo Castellani in similarly poor form, having taken just four points from their opening seven fixtures.

Still in search of a first victory, the visitors have also struggled for goals, with just four scored in the first weeks of the campaign, although they did double their tally with a 2:2 draw against Genoa last time out.

Both of last season´s matches between these out-of-form sides were tight affairs, with Udinese edging to a 1:0 win at this venue after a 1:1 draw in Udine. A similarly low-scoring contest seems likely on Friday. 

Ultimately, neither side are in any kind of form and with both struggling to score, under 2.5 match goals should prove the best selection for this Serie A contest.
