Empoli manager Paolo Zanetti has been on the job for less than a year, but there are already reports linking him to Torino, where he spent four years of his playing career. He will try to avoid that distraction when Empoli face Lecce in an Italian Serie A battle on Monday on Paramount+. The Blues are on an eight-match winless streak and on the verge of being dragged into a relegation battle.
Lecce are one spot below Empoli in the table and have won just two of the last 12 meetings between these teams. They are on a four-match losing streak coming into this match.

Italian Serie A picks for Empoli vs. Lecce
Before you tune in to Monday’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 Lecce vs. Empoli, Sutton is picking both teams to score at -105 odds. Empoli have seen both teams score in four of their last six matches, including their 2-1 loss to Atalanta last time out. They have allowed at least one goal in eight consecutive outings, which should help Lecce solve some of their attacking issues.
Lecce have conceded in each of their last six fixtures, falling to Fiorentina in their most recent match. They have been better on the road than at home this season, accumulating 15 of their 27 points in those matches. Their last two wins both came away from home, suggesting that some goals could be in store for them against Empoli’s leaky defense. Stream the game here.
