Sudtirol have had a mixed run lately, with a couple of losses, a draw and a win, so they're not in great rhythm right now. Empoli look the more settled side, having won three of their last five and only lost once, which suggests they're in better shape heading into this one.

The two teams have met recently and Empoli came out on top both times, though those games were tight and not high-scoring. This looks like a fairly close match, but given Empoli's stronger recent form and their recent edge in these meetings, Empoli are the team more likely to come away with the win.
