Juve Stabia form and stats

Juve Stabia have played 10 Serie B games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-1-4 (wins-draws-losses). Hopes of three in a row are alive for Juve Stabia after consecutive victories at their own ground.

Juve Stabia's previous game was a Serie B match also played at home, ending 1-0 versus Cosenza (placed 18th). The home side are looking to build on that result. 1-1 away at Cremonese before that.

Empoli form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Empoli so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 1-3-5 (win-draw-lose). Bitter travels for Empoli as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Trapani match.

There were no winners in Empoli's previous match, a Serie B home game that ended 1-1 vs Livorno (placed 20th). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Cosenza wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Empoli as they have only managed to score 6 times from 9 away games in the league. Empoli have conceded 16 goals in these games.
