Empoli has been facing significant challenges in their Serie A away games, enduring a dismal streak of ten consecutive losses and gathering only one point from the last 36 available. In stark contrast, Lazio has had a strong record at home, winning ten and drawing four out of their last 13 matches in Serie A, suggesting a considerable disparity in team form.
Initially, Lazio’s gameplay under their new coach was quite dynamic, yet recently, their home games have tended to be less high-scoring, with nine of the last ten matches featuring three goals or fewer. Similarly, Empoli’s away matches have also been low-scoring, with eight out of their last nine games having under four goals.
Lazio’s recent home games have been goal-rich, totaling 16 goals in the last four matches, with goals from both sides in each game. Empoli’s recent away games have shown a similar trend, with both teams scoring in three of their last four matches.
Prediction
So far this season, Empoli’s seven Serie A games have all ended with three goals or fewer, mirroring Lazio’s pattern, which has seen six out of their seven games also having under 3.5 goals. Given these trends, a similar outcome is likely when these two sides meet.
Prediction: Lazio 1 : 1 Empoli
