Empoli and Como face off in Monday's gameweek 11 Serie A match-up at Stadio Carlo Castellani, keen to move on from a wretched October.
Empoli:
Roberto D'Aversa's Empoli side is eager to bounce back after a challenging October, where they earned just one point from four games. Despite a strong start to the season, recent matches against top teams like Lazio, Napoli, and Inter Milan highlighted the gap in quality. Returning home to the Castellani, Empoli will hope to end their goal drought, having failed to score in five consecutive home games. Facing a defensively vulnerable Como offers a prime opportunity to secure three points and boost confidence.
Como:
Como also endured a difficult October, leaking 21 goals over 10 games and struggling defensively, especially in a 5-1 loss to Lazio. Although Cesc Fabregas's squad has shown flashes of competitiveness, their inability to hold clean sheets has proved costly. Winless since late September, the Lariani will look to exploit Empoli’s struggles at home. History, however, is not on their side, with only one Serie A win against Empoli in six encounters, making a draw the most realistic target for Como.
Prediction: 1-1
