Empoli 0-5 Atalanta

Current streaks

Recent form

Empoli

Empoli are enduring a torrid run of form, having failed to secure a victory in their last 10 matches and currently languishing in 17th position in Serie A. The Azzurri have suffered a particularly dismal spell in their last six games, losing five and drawing one, whilst conceding a staggering 16 goals and scoring only four. Their defensive frailties are glaringly evident, with no clean sheets in their last 15 matches and an alarming average of 2.67 goals conceded per game in their recent outings. High-scoring affairs have been a common occurrence, with 67% of their last six matches featuring over 2.5 goals, including a 4-1 drubbing at the hands of Juventus. Empoli's inability to keep the opposition at bay, coupled with their struggles in front of goal, paints a worrying picture for the club as they battle to avoid relegation.

Atalanta

Atalanta's recent form has been rather inconsistent, with only one win in their last six matches across all competitions. Despite sitting third in Serie A, they have struggled to find consistency, particularly in front of goal. Their most impressive result came in a 5-0 thrashing of Hellas Verona, which stands out as a high-scoring anomaly among their recent fixtures. Defensively, Atalanta have managed two clean sheets in their last six games, but have also conceded three goals in their most recent Champions League match against Club Brugge. The team's goal difference of +1 over this period suggests a tight balance between attack and defence, with an average of 2.5 total goals per game. Notably, Atalanta are currently on a three-match winless run in all competitions, indicating a dip in form that they'll be keen to address in their upcoming fixtures.

Recent home/away form

Empoli

Empoli's recent home form has been concerning, with the side failing to secure a victory in their last six matches at the Stadio Carlo Castellani. The Azzurri have endured a particularly difficult run, suffering four defeats in their last five home games. Their defensive fragility is evident, having conceded in every match and letting in an average of 1.67 goals per game. While there haven't been any notably high-scoring encounters, the 3-1 loss to Lecce stands out as their heaviest defeat in this period. Empoli have struggled to find the back of the net consistently, scoring just four goals across these six matches, with a meagre average of 0.67 goals per game. This poor run of form has contributed to their precarious position in the league, sitting 17th with just 21 points from 25 games.

Atalanta

Atalanta have shown mixed form in their recent away fixtures, with two wins, two draws, and two losses in their last six outings. Their most impressive result came in a 5-0 thrashing of Hellas Verona in Serie A, demonstrating their potential for high-scoring performances on the road. The team have been involved in several exciting matches, with 67% of their games featuring over 2.5 goals. Atalanta have managed to keep two clean sheets in their last six away games, but they've also struggled defensively at times, conceding seven goals overall. Their Champions League form has been particularly intriguing, with a draw against Barcelona and a narrow loss to Club Brugge, showcasing their ability to compete at the highest level. Despite their inconsistent results, Atalanta's average of 1.67 goals scored per game away from home suggests they remain a potent attacking force on their travels.
