Luperto and Walukiewicz

Football bet predictions show that the center-back pairing for Empoli, of Luperto and Walukiewicz, will be pivotal for them when they host Empoli on Sunday. The two center-backs will marshall the rest of the defense to minimize the danger posed by AC Milan’s attack.

The center-backs will also be central in launching attacks from the back, especially on the counter, and escaping the press to relieve Empoli of pressure and allow them to attack.

Olivier Giroud
