Empoli form and stats

With 1 Serie A win, 1 draw and 5 defeats from their home games, Empoli are certainly not brimming with confidence.

No payout for Empoli in their previous match, an away game at Hellas Verona that ended in defeat 1-2. Heartbreak for Empoli in their last match as Hellas Verona's A. Tameze scored the winning goal deep into overtime. Defender Simone Romagnoli got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.63/10. Romagnoli scored one goal and won 5 of 8 duels.

A strong away win before that one, visiting Sassuolo and winning 2-1.

Empoli are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 9 goals in 7 games. Neutralizing the opposition is a challenge, Empoli having conceded 18 goals here at Stadio Carlo Castellani so far.

Fiorentina form and stats

As the visiting team in Serie A matches, Fiorentina have produced an overall stat of 3-0-4 so far. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Fiorentina are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.

Alfred Duncan, Riccardo Saponara and Dušan Vlahović (2) scored in Fiorentina's previous match, the home game against Milan that ended 4-3. An insane game with heaps of goals last time out for Fiorentina, as mentioned above. 7 goals in that match, will this game be as much fun? Dušan Vlahović, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 8.25. Vlahović scored two goals, served one assist, hit one key pass and had 20 successful passes (of 25 total).

A 0-1 defeat away at Juventus before that.

A quick return to home after this game, as Fiorentina are hosting Sampdoria in the Serie A only three days away.
