Empoli vs Udinese Betting Tips: 1X (DOUBLE CHANCE)
The Azzurri of Empoli have shown subtle signs of progress leading up to the November international break, having fallen only to title-holders Inter during their most recent quartet of Serie A matches, while amassing five commendable points from the other clashes.
The lack of cutting edge in the attacking zone has been a pressing issue for D'Aversa's side this season, with their tally of nine goals placing them as the division's second-worst scorers, while a struggling Lecce team, with just five goals, is the only side with a poorer attacking record.
Difficulties in finding the net have been especially clear in their home games, though Pietro Pellegri provided a much-needed breakthrough by scoring the solitary winner against Como last time out, helping his side achieve both their first victory and their first goal at home this term.
Empoli's next league challenge will be against Udinese, a team sitting just one point ahead of them, but the squad donning black-and-white kits also remains trapped in a frustrating cycle after succumbed to defeat in four of their last five SA contests.
After making a decent impression on their opening away trips, drawing 1-1 at Bologna and pulling off a sensational 3-2 comeback win against Parma, the Friuli-based club has seen a drastic decline in their performances on their subsequent travels, losing four straight matches on foreign soil.
The odds suggest a tightly contested match between two sides hovering around the middle of the table, but with the advantage of playing at home and a solid defense, it seems Empoli has enough strength to get a favorable result against the slumping Udinese. Dividing the points at the end seems like the most realistic result, just as it was in both of their matchups last term.

Udinese team news
Udinese faces fewer squad issues, but they will still be without Arthur Atta, and Chilean striker Alexis Sanchez, who has yet to make his debut for the club this season due to a calf injury, although his return is imminent.
Regular midfielder Martin Payero has become the latest addition to the recovery room, with a ligament injury sustained in training this week expected to keep him sidelined for at least three matches, while Oier Zarraga is set to replace him.
