[Serie A] Although Venezia are slowly adapting to the top flight, Empoli have proved tougher to beat on the road than back home in Tuscany.
Last weekend, Eusebio Di Francesco's team suffered a narrow defeat to Napoli away (0-1), ending their 3-match unbeaten streak in Serie A (1 win and 2 draws). Venezia continues to face serious defensive issues, having conceded goals in 13 consecutive Serie A matches.
Venezia's position in the league standings remains critical: the team, with 13 points, is in second-to-last place. Additionally, their home results leave much to be desired – they have failed to win in 18 of their last 22 home games in Serie A (5 draws, 13 losses).
On the other hand, Empoli suffered a home loss to Genoa (1-2) in the last round, marking their third consecutive defeat in Serie A – the longest losing streak for the team this season. The team also failed to keep a clean sheet for the seventh consecutive match.
Empoli is in 12th place with 19 points. Interestingly, the team performs better away from home, where they have earned 12 points, compared to just 7 points at home. In their last 15 away matches in Serie A, the club has not won in 12 of them (4 draws and 8 losses), but they managed to score in 9 of their last 10 away games.
