Match Analysis

Empoli's recent performances have been challenging. They have yet to secure a victory in their last three matches, drawing once against Venezia and suffering defeats to Fiorentina and Napoli. Their attack has been lackluster, averaging 0.4 goals scored in their last five games, while their defense has been porous, conceding an average of 2.0 goals per match. Despite an average expected goals scored of 0.614, they have struggled to convert opportunities into goals, managing only one clean sheet in five games. In contrast, Lazio has shown more resilience, with a recent win over Genoa and draws against Parma and Roma. They have been slightly more efficient in front of goal, averaging 1.0 goal per game over their last five matches. Defensively, Lazio has also been more robust, conceding an average of 1.2 goals and achieving two clean sheets. Their average expected goals scored stands at 1.156, indicating a more potent attacking threat compared to Empoli.

Final Prediction

Lazio's stronger form and statistical edge in both attack and defense give them a clear advantage in this matchup. Their ability to maintain clean sheets and capitalize on scoring opportunities will be crucial against an Empoli side that has struggled defensively. A key factor to watch will be whether Empoli can defy recent trends and disrupt Lazio's rhythm, potentially making the game more competitive than anticipated.
