Just one place separates Empoli and Lecce in the Serie A table before Monday's meeting at Stadio Carlo Castellani.
The Azzurri lost 2-1 at Atalanta BC before the international break, while the Giallorossi fell to a 1-0 reverse against Fiorentina.
We say: Empoli 1-0 Lecce
Neither side is in top goalscoring form, but Empoli's decent-to-good record at the Castellani — they had gone five unbeaten until recent defeats by Napoli and Udinese — and Lecce's ongoing four-game run without scoring means the Azzurri should edge this one by the odd goal.
Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.

Sassuolo could supplant Torino in the Serie A table when the Neroverdi welcome the Granata to the Mapei Stadium on Monday.
The Emilia-Romagna outfit won their previous game before the international break 1-0 against Spezia, while the Bull were thrashed 4-0 by champions-elect Napoli.
We say: Sassuolo 2-2 Torino
This fixture has tended to end without a winner in Serie A, and the possibility of a high-scoring draw is high despite Sassuolo's four-game winning run.
Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.
