Current streaks

Recent form

Empoli

Empoli have shown mixed form in their recent fixtures, with a current position of 10th in Serie A reflecting their inconsistent performances. The team have struggled to find the back of the net, scoring just four goals in their last six matches, with a meagre average of 0.67 goals per game. Defensively, they've been somewhat more solid, conceding 1.33 goals per game on average. Empoli experienced a brief run of three matches without a win, including back-to-back losses against Napoli and Lazio, before breaking that streak with a victory against Como. Notably, 67% of their recent matches have seen under 2.5 goals, indicating a tendency towards low-scoring affairs. Their only clean sheet in this period came in their most recent victory, suggesting potential defensive improvement.

Udinese

Udinese's recent form has been concerning, with the team experiencing a three-match losing streak in their last three outings. Their performance over the past six games has been inconsistent, managing only two wins against four losses. Despite sitting in 9th position in Serie A, Udinese have struggled defensively, conceding an average of 1.33 goals per game. Their attack has also been lacklustre, scoring just one goal per game on average. The team have shown some resilience in keeping two clean sheets, but their goal difference of -2 suggests they are struggling to outscore opponents. Notably, 67% of their recent matches have seen under 2.5 goals, indicating a tendency towards low-scoring affairs. The 3-2 defeat against Venezia stands out as a particularly high-scoring encounter in an otherwise goal-shy run of games.

Recent home/away form

Empoli

Empoli have shown a remarkable defensive resilience at home, with four clean sheets in their last six matches, including impressive goalless draws against strong opponents like Juventus and Fiorentina. However, their attacking prowess has been a concern, scoring only once in this period, resulting in a meagre 0.17 goals per game average. The team's home form has been characterised by low-scoring affairs, with 83% of matches seeing under 2.5 goals. Interestingly, Empoli endured a run of three consecutive 0-0 draws before suffering two defeats, but they've recently broken this pattern with a narrow 1-0 victory over Como. Despite their mid-table position, Empoli's home performances have been marked by tight contests, with no particularly high-scoring games and a tendency to keep things close, even against top-tier opposition.

Udinese

Udinese's recent away form has been poor, with the team currently on a concerning four-match losing streak on the road. Their last six away fixtures have yielded just one win and one draw, with four defeats. Defensively, Udinese have struggled, conceding an average of two goals per game and failing to keep a single clean sheet in this period. The matches have generally been high-scoring affairs, with 67% of games seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams finding the net in two-thirds of the fixtures. The 3-2 victory against Parma stands out as a particularly high-scoring encounter, but it remains their only bright spot in an otherwise disappointing run. With 12 goals conceded and only 7 scored, Udinese's goal difference of -5 highlights their struggles away from home, despite their relatively comfortable 9th position in the league table.
