Fiorentina
WDWDDW 📈
Fiorentina are hoping to win again after their last result, a 1-2 Serie A victory vs Cagliari.
Raffaelle Palladino's Fiorentina have found the net a sum total of 8 times over their prior 6 outings. The tally of goals that have been scored against them in those fixtures stands at 6.
Taking a look at their past results, Fiorentina:
- haven't lost in the league to Empoli in their last 2 matches.
- have not beaten Empoli in their previous 5 matches in the league.
- have not been beaten in their last 4 home league matches.
Empoli
LDLDLD ⚠
Last time out, Empoli drew 2-2 in the Serie A match with Venezia.
In that game, Empoli had 46% possession and 11 attempts on goal with 4 on target. For Empoli, the goalscorers were Jacopo Fazzini (59') and Tino Anjorin (87'). At the other end, Venezia got 13 attempts on goal with 7 on target. John Yeboah (67') and Gianluca Busio (85') scored for Venezia.
The stats tell the story, and Empoli have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, with opponents netting 10 goals in all. In defence, Empoli have seen their frailties exposed. Putting that to one side, time will tell if such a trend might be replicated here in this game or not.
Leading up to this clash, Empoli:
- remain unbeaten by Fiorentina when having played them away from home in the previous 2 matches in the league.
- are without an away win for the past 9 league games. A poor run.
