On Sunday morning, Empoli and Sassuolo go head-to-head at the Stadio Carlo Castellani in a midtable Serie A clash.
Empoli are enjoying a highly promising campaign in the Italian top-flight. In fact, Aurelio Andreazzoli’s team are just four points outside Serie A’s top six.
Despite their respectable position in the standings, Empoli have failed to win in their last three league outings. Last time out they produced a thrilling 3-3 draw at Lazio.
The game followed a familiar high-scoring trend for their recent league matches, as eight of Empoli’s last ten league matches have produced over 2.5 goals.
The Azzurri have been inconsistent on home soil of late in Serie A. However, they have won just three of their previous ten home matches in the Italian top-flight.
Empoli may have endured mixed results on home soil of late, but they have remained prolific in front of goal, having scored at least two goals in their last four home matches in Serie A.
Like their hosts, Sassuolo have struggled to maintain any consistent form in Serie A this season. The visitors are just three points behind Empoli in the table after another mixed recent spell of league form.
There has been a lot of draws for the Neroverdi of late in the Italian top-flight, as five of their last eight matches have ended all square. One of those draws was in their last league game, as Genoa held them to a 1-1 draw.
Sassuolo have been difficult to beat on their travels this season and they have lost just one of their last six league games on their travels. The visitors have also been prolific on the road in Serie A, scoring at least two goals in their last six away matches.
Forebet predicts that this game will produce another entertaining Serie A encounter, which will finish in a high-scoring draw.
