✍️ Match Preview
Match Analysis
Udinese host Empoli at Bluenergy Stadium in Serie A, Regular Season - 37. Kick-off is scheduled for Sunday 19 May 2024 at 14:00 UTC.
Form Guide
Udinese — All Games: 2W 4D 4L from 10 Serie A outings this season, averaging 1.00 points per game. Last five: L L D D W. They are averaging 1.00 goals per game and conceding 1.20 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. Both teams have scored in 70% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets.
Udinese's home record at Bluenergy Stadium: 1W 4D 5L from 10 Serie A appearances (0.70 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.10 goals scored and 1.40 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 70% of their home games — an outstanding BTTS rate that is a key data point for this fixture.
Across all Serie A games this season, Empoli have recorded 2W 1D 7L from 10 outings — 0.70 PPG. Last five: L W L D L. Their scoring rate of 0.40 per game is modest, conceding 1.20 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation. Both teams have scored in only 10% of their fixtures — a very low rate that strongly backs BTTS No.
On the road, Empoli have gone 2W 2D 6L from 10 away fixtures this term (0.80 PPG). Away from home they average 0.80 goals scored and 1.40 conceded per game.
The form comparison is too close to call — 1.00 PPG (Udinese) versus 0.70 (Empoli). When the figures are this level, no pick can be reliably derived from recent results alone.
H2H Record
There is little to separate the sides historically. From 5 previous meetings, Udinese have won 2, Empoli 1, with 2 draws — a balanced ledger that offers no obvious directional steer on its own.
The 5 previous meetings have averaged 2.4 goals per game — a neutral rate that provides no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent clash, on 6 Oct 2023, ended 0–0 with a draw.
The head-to-head offers no strong directional steer in either the result or goals markets. Form, the predictive model and current market pricing should carry more weight than the historical record for this fixture.
Trading Patterns
Udinese in-play and half-time data (74 games, 37 at home): they score before half-time in 81% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 64% of the time; BTTS occurs in 65% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 51% of games (home games); they fail to score in 31% of games.
Empoli in-play and half-time data (74 games, 37 at away): they score before half-time in 70% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 79% of the time; BTTS occurs in 46% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 32% of games (away games); they fail to score in 45% of games.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Udinese 55% versus Empoli 39%; no strong lean in either direction. Under 2.5 goals has backing from the in-play data — both teams register low Over 2.5 rates (Udinese 45% | Empoli 34%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Udinese 1.24 xG and Empoli 0.94 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Udinese attack 0.862 / defence 1.110 | Empoli attack 0.706 / defence 1.065. League average goals — home 1.355 / away 1.200. Data: 74 Udinese games / 74 Empoli games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: Udinese 42% | Draw 31% | Empoli 27%. Fair-value odds: Udinese 2.38 | Draw 3.23 | Empoli 3.70. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 31% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 37% | BTTS probability 45% | Total xG 2.18. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 63% — total xG of 2.18 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS probability of 45% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Analysis Verdict
On the Poisson output, Udinese are the pick at 42% — marginal model lean. With a 31% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Udinese offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.
The Poisson model projects 2.18 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 37% — Poisson-only — limited corroboration confidence.
On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 45% on No. Form rates are neutral: Udinese 70% | Empoli 40%.

Model Mechanics
Working from Udinese's attack rating (0.86) and Empoli's defence rating (1.06), the model arrives at 1.24 expected goals for the home side. The same calculation in reverse, Empoli's attack versus Udinese's defence, projects 0.94 expected goals for the visitors.
These ratings are built from 74/74 games of current-season data — a full enough sample to trust.
The Exact-Score Picture

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
Udinese and Empoli finished level at 1-1 at Bluenergy Stadium, Regular Season - 37, in the Serie A. That is the final score; the rest of this report grades it against what the data forecast beforehand.
The Model vs The Result
The Poisson model went into this projecting Udinese 1.24 xG and Empoli 0.94 xG, a combined 2.18. The scoreboard read 1-1 for 2 actual goals. Both sides finished within a goal of their individual projections, so the scoreline sat close to the model's expected shape. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Udinese attack 0.86 / defence 1.11 against Empoli attack 0.71 / defence 1.06, drawn from 74/74 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it Udinese 42% | Draw 31% | Empoli 27%, with Udinese to win its most likely call at 42%. The actual draw had been the model's second-ranked read at 31%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 37%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — the model's lean was correct. Over 1.5 had been 65% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 45% and the match saw both sides score — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 39% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Udinese 45%, Empoli 34%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 47%, which did not match the both-scored outcome.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
Udinese's trading profile (74 games, 37 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 55% of their matches — today it did.
Empoli's trading profile (74 games, 37 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 39% of their matches — today it did.
Form vs Result
The form lines were close — Udinese 1.07 PPG, Empoli 1.01 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the draw fit that even billing.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 1 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (miss). A poor return for the projections: the match defied the majority of what the numbers expected.
