Preliminary Review and Match Prediction for Empoli vs Fiorentina
Empoli
After being promoted in 2021 to Serie A, Empoli managed to stay among the top flight after finishing 14th at the end of last season. Surely the Blues’ main aim is to keep their position in Serie A, however, the start of the 2022/23 season was not as wished.
To illustrate, Empoli lost in their first match away to Spezia by 0-1. That came after coach Paolo Zanetti’s team suffered an early exit from the Coppa Italia after losing to Spal in the 1/32 finals.
Fiorentina
Fiorentina had a very tough opening game against newly promoted Cremonese. In fact, and despite Cremonese being a man down, the scoreline showed 2-2 until the 95th minute when Fiorentina managed to score the winner.
The Violas just missed playing in Europe this season after they ended up in the seventh position. Last season, Vincenzo Italiano’s team had clean sheets in just 5% of their away games. That means that Italiano has to work hard with his defense who conceded on average 1.34 goals per game.
A slight advantage for Fiorentina
The bookies are favoring Fiorentina for a clear win while the stats show a 10% difference in favor of the Violas. Hence, we prefer to pick a double chance of a draw or away win combined with over 1.5 goals.
