Empoli will be looking to record their seventh Serie A victory of the 2021-22 campaign when they welcome Udinese to Stadio Carlo Castellani on Monday evening.

The home side are currently 11th in the table, having picked up 20 points from their opening 15 matches of the season, while Udinese sit 14th with 16 points to show from their first 15 games.

We say: Empoli 1-1 Udinese

Both teams will believe that they can hurt the other in the final third of the field, and it should be an open and entertaining contest at Stadio Carlo Castellani. A case can be made for either side to win, but we are backing a low-scoring draw on Monday night.

Cagliari vs. Torino (Monday, 7.45pm)

Cagliari will be bidding to move out of the relegation zone in Serie A when they welcome Torino to Unipol Domus on Monday night.

The home side are currently 19th in the table, having picked up just nine points from their opening 15 matches of the season, while Torino sit 13th with 18 points to show from their first 15 games.

We say: Cagliari 2-2 Torino

Cagliari's position in the table is slightly surprisingly considering that they have two forwards with 11 league goals between them this season. We are expecting the hosts to net a couple more on Monday, but they have conceded too many goals this term, and Torino could net two of their own in an entertaining draw.
