The team's ability to grind out results is evident, with four of their six home games ending with a 2-1 scoreline in their favour, demonstrating their resilience and knack for securing narrow victories against tough opposition such as AC Milan and Juventus.

Empoli

The team's away form has been characterised by a series of draws and losses, with their most recent three away games resulting in two draws and a defeat. Empoli have been particularly goal-shy on their travels, managing to score only four goals in these six matches, averaging a mere 0.67 goals per game. Defensively, they have been vulnerable, conceding 11 goals at an average of 1.83 per game. The match against Juventus on 2025-02-02 stands out as a particularly high-scoring affair, with Empoli suffering a heavy 4-1 defeat. Despite their poor form, Empoli have shown some resilience in their ability to find the net, with both teams scoring in 67% of these away fixtures. However, their inability to keep clean sheets and their negative goal difference of -7 highlight the challenges they face when playing away from home.
