The sensational form that Udinese once boasted in the Serie A has disappeared without a trace. As they face Empoli, they find themselves in poor form and with little hope of players returning from injury during the international break. The hosts will aim to defend strongly at home, as securing points is crucial for them.
Empoli have not frequently thrilled their fans with goals this season. In their 12 Serie A matches, the team have managed only nine goals, which is the second-worst record, alongside Genoa. On the flip side, they have made the most of their roster considering seven key players are injured. Employing a 3-5-2 formation, Empoli concede very few opportunities to their opponents, often forced to play on the back foot.
Udinese's attacking prowess has also been hindered by injuries to key players. Florian Thauvin, Alexis Sánchez, and Gerard Deulofeu are among those recently sidelined, though their impact was expected to be significant in terms of goal contribution. On the road, Udinese have picked up just four points from six games, with only Verona (3), Venezia (2), and Lecce (1) performing worse away from home. Against Atalanta (1:2) defeat, they registered 0.91 xG, insufficient for even a draw.
Since January 2023, Udinese and Empoli have failed to exceed a total over 2.5 in their four encounters. We recommend considering the total under for this game.
