Current streaks

Recent form

Empoli

Empoli's recent form has been somewhat inconsistent, with their last victory coming in the Coppa Italia against Torino five matches ago. The team have struggled to find the back of the net, scoring just four goals in their last six games, with an average of 0.67 goals per match. Defensively, Empoli have been leaking goals, conceding eight times in the same period, including a 3-0 defeat to Inter Milan in their most recent outing. Despite their mid-table position, the Gli Azzurri have managed only one clean sheet in their last six matches, which came in a goalless draw against Fiorentina. Interestingly, their matches have been evenly split between low and high-scoring affairs, with 50% of games seeing under 2.5 goals and the other half witnessing over 2.5 goals. Empoli's current winless streak in the league stands at five games, indicating a concerning dip in form that they'll be eager to address in their upcoming fixtures.

Como

Como's recent form has been a mixed bag, with a notable downturn in their last three matches. The team have struggled defensively, failing to keep a clean sheet in their last 11 games and conceding an average of 2.33 goals per game over their last six. However, Como have shown some attacking prowess, scoring in five out of their last six matches and averaging 1.5 goals per game. Their most recent outing resulted in a heavy 5-1 defeat to Lazio, which stands out as a particularly high-scoring affair. On a positive note, Como did enjoy a brief two-game winning streak in late September, including an impressive 3-2 away victory against Atalanta. The team's matches have been entertaining for neutrals, with both teams scoring in 83% of their recent games and over 2.5 goals occurring in 67% of them.

Recent home/away form

Empoli

Empoli's recent home form presents a concerning trend for the Italian side. They are currently on a three-match losing streak in Serie A at their home ground, failing to score in any of these encounters. Prior to this, Empoli had a remarkable run of three consecutive 0-0 draws at home in the league, demonstrating their defensive resilience but also highlighting their struggles in front of goal. The only bright spot in their recent home fixtures was a high-scoring 4-1 victory against Catanzaro in the Coppa Italia, which stands out as an anomaly given their otherwise goal-shy performances. Empoli have managed to keep three clean sheets in their last six home games, but their inability to find the back of the net in five out of these six matches is a significant worry. With an average of just 0.67 goals scored per game and 67% of their matches featuring under 2.5 goals, Empoli's home fixtures have been notably low-scoring affairs.

Como

Como's recent away form has been particularly challenging, with the team struggling to find consistency on the road. They are currently on a run of three consecutive away defeats, which is their longest losing streak in this set of fixtures. The side have managed to score in only half of their last six away matches, with their most impressive result being a 3-2 victory against Atalanta. Defensively, Como have been vulnerable, conceding an average of 1.83 goals per game and failing to keep a clean sheet in any of their recent away encounters. Their highest-scoring away game was the 3-3 thriller against Napoli, which also contributed significantly to their total goals average of 2.67 per match. Despite their difficulties, Como have shown they can be competitive, with 50% of their away games seeing both teams score and an even split between matches going over and under 2.5 goals.
