Empoli vs Lecce

Current streaks

Recent form

Empoli

Empoli have experienced a mixed run of form in their recent fixtures, currently sitting 12th in Serie A with 20 points from 19 games. The Gli Azzurri have struggled to find consistency, winning just once in their last six matches across all competitions. Their sole victory came in impressive fashion, thrashing Hellas Verona 4-1 away from home. However, this high-scoring affair was followed by a three-match losing streak in the league, which was only halted by a recent 1-1 draw with Venezia. Empoli's defensive frailties are evident, having failed to keep a clean sheet in their last nine outings. Their matches have been entertaining for neutrals, with 67% of their recent games featuring over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring in 83% of encounters. Despite their inconsistent results, Empoli have maintained a respectable goal-scoring record, averaging 1.67 goals per game in their last six matches.

Lecce

Lecce's recent form has been rather poor, as they find themselves in 18th position in Serie A with just 17 points from 19 games. The Giallorossi have managed only one win in their last six matches, drawing twice and losing three times. Their defensive frailties are evident, having conceded 10 goals in this period at an average of 1.67 per game, while struggling to find the back of the net themselves with just 5 goals scored (0.83 per game). A particularly heavy defeat came against AS Roma, where they conceded four goals. Despite their struggles, Lecce have shown some resilience, holding Juventus to a draw and keeping a clean sheet in their most recent match against Genoa. The team's goal difference of -5 over the last six games highlights their current predicament, as they battle to climb out of the relegation zone.

Recent home/away form

Empoli

Empoli have been struggling at home recently, with a concerning run of three consecutive losses in their last three matches at the Stadio Carlo Castellani. Their home form has been poor overall, managing only one win in their last six games. The hosts have been particularly goal-shy, scoring a mere three goals across these six matches, averaging a paltry 0.5 goals per game. Defensively, they've also been vulnerable, conceding eight goals during this period. Low-scoring affairs have been a trend, with 67% of their recent home games seeing under 2.5 goals. Empoli have failed to score in half of these matches, highlighting their offensive woes. The 3-0 defeat to Inter Milan stands out as the heaviest loss in this stretch, while clean sheets have been rare, with only one recorded in their last six home fixtures.

Lecce

Lecce's away form has been notably poor, with the team currently enduring a concerning run of four consecutive away defeats in Serie A. Their sole victory in the last six away matches came against Venezia, where they managed a narrow 1-0 win. Lecce have struggled to find the back of the net on their travels, scoring a mere two goals in their last six away fixtures, whilst conceding nine. This defensive frailty was particularly evident in their 4-1 loss to AS Roma, which stands out as the highest-scoring match in this run. The team have kept only one clean sheet during this period, and their goal-scoring drought is reflected in the fact that 83% of their away matches have seen fewer than 2.5 goals. Lecce's away performances have undoubtedly contributed to their precarious 18th position in the league table.
