Venezia

DWDWDW 📈

Venezia will be hoping for a repeat of their last result, following the 0-3 Serie B victory versus AS Bari.

In that match, Venezia managed 72% possession and 17 shots at goal with 7 on target. For Venezia, the scorers were Ridgeciano Haps (19', 45') and Andrea Adorante (52'). On the other side, Bari had 6 attempts on goal with 2 of them on target.

Their more recent scorelines show that there has been much resilience in the Venezia defence. Venezia have kept it tight, resulting in the total number of goals that have gone in at their end over the course of their previous six outings standing at 4. We will have to find out whether or not that trend will be continued on here.

Their prior results show that Venezia:

• haven't lost in the league to Empoli in their previous 7 games.
• have left without a victory over Empoli in their previous 4 league matches.
• are undefeated in their previous 5 home league matches.

Empoli

DDWLLD

Last time out, Empoli drew 1-1 in the Serie B tie with Entella.

In that match, Empoli had 62% possession and 15 attempts at goal with 2 on target. The only player to score for Empoli was Luca Magnino (50'). Virtus Entella had 9 attempts at goal with 1 of them on target. Guiu (13') scored for Entella.

The numbers tell their own story, and Empoli have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 matches, with opponents netting 8 goals overall. At the back, Empoli have not been doing too well.

Looking at the pre-match facts, Empoli:

• haven't beaten Venezia when having played them away from home in the previous 3 league matches.
• are undefeated by Venezia in games played away from home for the previous 2 league games.
• are without a win away from home in their last 8 matches in the league. What a terrible run of away results.

🗞️ Team News: Venezia

It seems likely that Arancioneroverdi should kick off with a 3-5-2 system for this game featuring Filip Stankovic, Michael Svoboda, Bartol Franjic, Ridgeciano Haps, Joel Schingtienne, Antoine Hainaut, Issa Doumbia, Gianluca Busio, Kike Perez, John Yeboah and Andrea Adorante.

📰 Team News: Empoli

There’s a good chance that Azzurri seem likely to elect for a 4-2-3-1 formation, choosing Andrea Fulignati, Joseph Ceesay, Tyronne Ebuehi, Simone Romagnoli, Antonio Candela, Gerard Yepes, Gabriele Guarino, Luca Magnino, Rares Ilie, Stiven Shpendi and Matteo Lovato.

💭 Prediction

We feel that in this game, Empoli certainly have the ability to break down this Venezia lineup, but that may not quite be as many as they’ll concede.

We reckon that it will be a 2-1 advantage for Venezia when the full-time whistle blows. Should be a good one.
