Analysis

2% Rotation #201389: Italian Serie A: Friday 2% OVER 2 -160 in Cagliari vs Empoli @ 12:30 ET - The over 2 is available as an Asian Total option which, for example, at DraftKings you select Spread/Total and then Asian Total and you will see this available. This option is offered at other sportsbooks as well. Having 2 as a push rather than a loss is a big edge though I am certainly expecting 3 or more goals here. Looking for a 2-1 type battle. Very interesting match-up here as Cagliari coach Davide Nicola faces the club he just coached last season after helping Empoli avoid relegation last season after he took over in January. You know he has a special desire to outclass his former club here and they are favored at home, despite a tough start to the campaign, with good reason! Yes, Cagliari has struggled to score but they already have had 5 shots hit the woodwork in just 4 matches. In other words, some tough luck early this season and, again, you know it is no accident they are favored here. However, Cagliari has allowed 5 goals in their 3 home matches this season and Empoli's 2 road matches have included a 1-1 draw and a 2-1 win. Empoli is off a scoreless draw but faced Juventus and they already faced another tough club, Bologna, coming off a strong Serie A season as well. So this match-up sets up much more as a winnable match for each club and you will see a strong attacking response from each here after Cagliari just got waxed 4-0 by Napoli in their last match as well. Both clubs feel this one they can take the full 3 points and there will not be much “sitting back” here from either club. Look for both clubs to play this one with an aggressive style on their front foot for long phases in this match! 2% OVER 2 -160 in Cagliari
