Empoli will try to continue to play attacking football after the defeat against Lazio and the surprising win against Juventus in Torino. Venezia had a tough start, but one goal or point could turn things around. Read our reasons for the Empoli vs Venezia prediction and betting tips.
Empoli coach Aurelio Andreazzoli give his players huge credit for a win against Juventus in the previous round but acknowledged that he believed it could be done, to shock giants from Torino. The Tuscans caused the biggest surprise of the season so far, just a few games away after promotion from Serie B they deservedly won 1-0 against Juventus in Torino after a scramble in the penalty box and Leonardo Mancuso strike. “It might be historic, but the most important thing is those three points in the bag. Winning here makes it feel it is worth more,” the coach told media after the match. Andreazzoli was proud of his players, as several media outlets criticized them after the loss against Lazio, telling them they are not ready for Serie A.
One of the most impressive stats was that Juventus made 79 attacks and Empoli 70 in that game, and the possession stats revealed that Empoli had 48 percent ball at their feet. Anyone who didn’t see this match will surely think that Empoli just parked the bus and scored a goal to win, but the reality was even better for Andreazzoli’s team. They were on par with Juventus players in terms of creativity, strength, stamina, they surprised rivals with strong character and mentality, went forward when given chance, and finished with a defensive clinic. In the last 15 minutes, Juventus didn’t get any huge chance to equalize and that was maybe the most impressive part of Empoli's performance.
Venezia had a bad start to the season, losing both games, without scoring a single goal and with five conceded. The 2-0 loss vs Napoli away was at the start of their campaign were short notice that many things they must change to compete with the other Serie A teams. Napoli had a man less for more than an hour after Osimhen red card, but Venezia give their rival two chances from the penalty spot. Insigne missed but later scored from 11m to give Napoli an advantage, and Elmas finished the game with a close-range effort.
In the match against Udinese, they started brightly, playing high press football and giving opponents trouble building attacks from the last line but after they conceded, the home team took advantage and eased past them for the final 3-0. Pussetto, Deulofeu, and Molina scored for Udinese after very naive individual defensive mistakes. The fact is that Venezia changed a lot during the transfer window trying to reinforce the team for the Serie A competition. In both matches, they had chances but weren’t clinical enough. On the other end of the pitch, the defense conceded from counter-attacks after losing possessions and that made a huge difference between solid performance and a bad outcome. The 4-0 defeat in a friendly game vs Brescia didn’t help lift their confidence before the Empoli match and another ugly result will probably happen if they don’t sort their problems in a short time.

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
