Recent form
Fiorentina
Fiorentina have shown impressive resilience in their recent form, going unbeaten in their last six matches with three wins and three draws. The Viola have demonstrated a particularly strong defensive record, conceding only six goals in this period and keeping two clean sheets. Their attacking prowess has been noteworthy as well, with an average of 1.5 goals scored per game. Interestingly, Fiorentina have been involved in high-scoring affairs, with 67% of their matches seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring in two-thirds of the games. The team's current unbeaten streak extends to eight matches, highlighting their consistency and determination. Their most recent victory against Cagliari in Serie A, coupled with positive results in the Europa Conference League, suggests that Fiorentina are in good form as they look to climb further up the Serie A table from their current 8th position.
Empoli
Empoli find themselves in a precarious position, sitting 19th in Serie A with a mere 25 points from 33 games. Their recent form has been particularly poor, with the Azzurri failing to secure a victory in their last 20 matches across all competitions. In their previous six outings, Empoli have managed just three draws and suffered three defeats, highlighting their struggles in front of goal with a meagre 0.5 goals scored per game. Defensively, they've been equally vulnerable, conceding an average of 1.67 goals per match. The team's goal difference of -7 over this period further underscores their difficulties at both ends of the pitch. While there have been no particularly high-scoring encounters in their recent fixtures, the 3-0 losses to both Napoli in Serie A and Bologna in the Coppa Italia stand out as significant setbacks for the struggling side.

Recent home/away form
Fiorentina
Fiorentina have shown impressive form at home recently, with a notable run of four consecutive victories before their two most recent draws. The Viola have been particularly strong defensively, keeping four clean sheets in their last six home matches and conceding only three goals in total. Their 3-0 triumph over Juventus stands out as a high-scoring affair and a significant result against a major rival. Fiorentina's attacking prowess is evident in their average of 1.67 goals scored per game, while their defensive solidity is underscored by the low 0.5 goals conceded per match. Interestingly, their home matches have been evenly split between high and low-scoring affairs, with 50% of games seeing over 2.5 goals and 50% under. Despite their strong home form, Fiorentina's 8th position in the league suggests they may have struggled more in away fixtures.
Empoli
Empoli's recent away form has been particularly poor, with the team failing to secure a single victory in their last six matches on the road. The Azzurri have struggled to find the back of the net, scoring a mere three goals in these fixtures, averaging a paltry 0.5 goals per game. Defensively, they have been equally underwhelming, conceding 10 goals and failing to keep a clean sheet in any of these matches. Their last two away games have resulted in heavy 3-0 defeats, against Napoli and Udinese, highlighting their defensive frailties. Despite their poor form, Empoli have managed to grind out three draws in this period, including creditable 1-1 results against Juventus in the Coppa Italia and Genoa in Serie A. However, with only 25 points from 33 games and sitting in 19th position in the league, Empoli's away form will need to improve dramatically if they hope to avoid relegation.
