Padova vs Empoli Prediction (Apr 12)

The Padova vs Empoli prediction for the Serie B clash on April 12, 2026, gives Padova a clear edge. Based on current form, league positions, and home advantage, Padova has a 60% probability to win, while the draw stands at 25% and Empoli has a 15% chance.

Team Form

Padova’s home form is strong: they have won 4 of their last 5 home matches in Serie B (W, W, L, W, W). The only home defeat in that run came against Virtus Entella. At home, they have been consistently solid, including a 1-0 victory over Reggiana and a 1-0 win against Pescara.

Empoli’s away form is a concern. Their last 5 away results read D, W, L, D, L – only one win, two draws, and two defeats. The most recent away trip was a 2-2 draw at Monza, preceded by a 0-2 loss at Venezia and a 0-1 loss at Padova. That lack of away consistency makes them underdogs here.

Head-to-Head Record

These teams have met twice in Serie B before, with one win each – both home victories. Padova won the reverse fixture 1-0 at home on April 12, 2026. Earlier, Empoli triumphed 3-1 at home in August 2025. The head-to-head record shows a home‑win pattern, which further supports Padova’s advantage in this matchup.

League Table Positions

Padova finished the season 10th in the Serie B table with 46 points from 38 games (12 wins, 10 draws, 16 losses). Empoli ended outside the top 12, indicating a weaker campaign overall. Padova also had a better home record (6 wins in 19) compared to Empoli’s away struggles, which underlines the gap between the sides.

Win Probability: Padova or Empoli?

The win probability percentages reflect all available data:

  • Padova win: 60%
  • Draw: 25%
  • Empoli win: 15%

This calculation is based on Padova’s dominant home form (4 wins in 5), Empoli’s poor away record (1 win in 5), the head‑to‑head home‑win trend, and the final league table gap. Home advantage and recent momentum make Padova the clear favorite. Empoli’s low probability reflects their difficulty on the road and lower standing in the division.

Odds & Match Prediction

Betting tips would point towards a home win or a draw/draw scenario, though Padova’s recent 1-0 win over Empoli suggests a narrow margin again.
