Monza 1-3 Empoli

Current streaks

Recent form

Monza

Monza are enduring a torrid run of form, having suffered five consecutive defeats before their recent 2-1 victory against Udinese. Their struggles are evident in their league position, languishing at the bottom of Serie A with a mere 18 points from 36 games. The team's defensive woes are particularly concerning, with Monza failing to keep a clean sheet in their last 11 matches and conceding an average of two goals per game in their last six outings. Their attacking prowess has also been lacklustre, managing to score just three goals in this period, averaging a meagre 0.5 goals per game. A particularly heavy defeat came against Atalanta, where Monza were thrashed 4-0 at home. Despite their struggles, the team have shown some resilience in terms of goal involvement, with both teams scoring in 33% of their recent matches and an even split between games with over and under 2.5 goals.

Empoli

Empoli find themselves in a precarious position, sitting 19th in Serie A with just 28 points from 36 games. Their recent form has been particularly poor, with a concerning run of three consecutive league defeats prior to their most recent victory against Parma. The team's defensive frailties are evident, having failed to keep a clean sheet in their last six matches across all competitions. Empoli's matches have been high-scoring affairs, with 83% of their recent games seeing over 2.5 goals. Despite their struggles, they have managed to find the back of the net in four of their last six outings, albeit conceding at an alarming rate of 1.83 goals per game. The 3-0 loss to Napoli stands out as a particularly heavy defeat during this challenging period for the Tuscan side.

Recent home/away form

Monza

Monza's recent home form has been dismal, with the team enduring a concerning run of three consecutive defeats in their last three matches at the Brianteo. The Biancorossi have struggled to find the back of the net, scoring a meagre two goals in their last six home fixtures, whilst conceding a worrying 11. Their defensive woes are particularly evident in their most recent home match, a 4-0 thrashing at the hands of Atalanta, which stands out as the highest-scoring game in this stretch. Monza have managed just one clean sheet in their last six home games, a goalless draw against Lecce, and have failed to score in four of these matches. With no wins, two draws, and four losses in this period, Monza's home form is a significant factor in their current bottom-of-the-table position in Serie A.

Empoli

Empoli's recent away form has been abysmal, with the team failing to secure a single victory in their last six matches on the road. The Azzurri have suffered four defeats and managed only two draws during this period, indicating a significant struggle away from home. Notably, Empoli have been on a three-match losing streak in their most recent away fixtures, conceding multiple goals in each of these encounters. Their defensive frailties are evident, having conceded 10 goals whilst scoring only 4, resulting in a poor goal difference of -6. The team's inability to keep a clean sheet in any of these matches further highlights their defensive woes. Despite the high percentage of matches where both teams scored (67%), Empoli's goal-scoring average of 0.67 per game away from home is a cause for concern, particularly for a side battling relegation in 19th position in Serie A.
