In a series of five matches, the total over 2.5 goals occurred only once for each team, and under 2.5 goals occurred four times.

Regarding goals conceded, Palermo distributes them evenly across four intervals, while 67% of Empoli's conceded goals occur between the 16-30 minutes. Given the low scoring nature of both teams, frequent under 2.5 totals, and Empoli's weak attack, betting on under 2.5 goals at 1.83 seems logical.
