Back Both Teams to Score @ 1.855/6 in Perugia v Empoli

The Griffins take on the Azzurri in one of today's Serie B games and Tobias Gourlay's expecting goals

Perugia v Empoli
Thursday 19:30

Ross County and St Johnstone left us a goal short at Victoria Park last night. They drew 1-1, but the same result would be perfectly acceptable at the Stadio Renato Curi this evening.

Perugia have served up 31 goals in nine Serie B games there so far this season. Roberto Breda's Griffins have scored themselves in 8/9 and should find ways through the porous defence they come up against tonight.

Empoli's away matches are also averaging more than three goals a game: 32 in 10 so far. Vincenzo Vivarini's Azzurri are up in fifth, but are yet to notch a clean sheet on their travels. There have been goals at both ends in 9/10 and that's our bet for today.
