Empoli F.C. will visit U.S. Cremonese for an Italian Serie A faceoff Friday on Paramount+. Empoli sit comfortably in 14th on the Serie A table but are looking to turn things around in order to stay clear of the relegation zone after winning just one out of their last five games. Meanwhile, Cremonese continue to occupy the league cellar with 16 points on the season, but should have some confidence after securing their second win of the season last weekend with a 3-2 victory against Sampdoria.

Italian Serie A picks for Empoli vs. Cremonese

Before you tune in to Friday's match, you need to see the Italian Serie A picks from betting expert Brandt Sutton. Sutton, a former collegiate soccer player, has been SportsLine's top soccer editor for more than five years. He has followed soccer closely for much longer and factors in managerial tactics, projected lineups and past performances to make the most-informed decisions possible, keeping his finger on the pulse of the game all over the globe. 

Sutton finished 2022 as SportsLine's top soccer expert with a 165-130-2 mark, returning nearly $2,200 for $100 players. He also excelled in Serie A with a 63-39-1 mark, returning nearly $1,600.

For Cremonese vs. Empoli, Sutton is picking Under 2.5 goals to be scored for a -135 payout. Empoli secured a 2-0 victory against Cremonese in the reverse fixture, and the expert expects a similar low-scoring result on Friday. Cremonese have been shut out in two of their last three home games, while Empoli have kept a clean sheet in each of their last two matches.

Additionally, almost all of Empoli's matches this season have had low scores. The Azzurri have not scored more than two goals in a game across all competition going back to the start of the Serie A campaign in August. Plus, the Under has hit in their last seven league games. Stream the game here.
