While Empoli has struggled to find their footing this season, Udinese has a potential game-changer in their ranks: Lazar Vujadin Samardžić. The midfielder has been a standout performer for Udinese, boasting a rating of 7.40. His impressive stats include 4 shots on target and a total of 138 passes, including 9 key passes. He's also the only player to score for Udinese this season, a testament to his pivotal role in the team.
Empoli, on the other hand, has yet to identify key players who can turn their fortunes around. The team's inability to score goals is a significant concern, and they will need their offensive players to step up in this crucial match.
Recent form paints a bleak picture for Empoli. They currently sit at the bottom of the Serie A standings, with 0 points from 5 games and a worrying goal difference of -13. Their last five games have all ended in defeat, a trend they will be desperate to reverse.
Udinese, while not faring much better, have managed to secure 3 points from their 5 games. Their form has been inconsistent, with their last five matches resulting in 2 losses and 3 draws.
Historically, Udinese has had the upper hand in this fixture. In their most recent encounters, Udinese secured a 1-0 victory at Empoli on March 11, 2023, while the earlier match on January 4, 2023, ended in a 1-1 draw at Udinese's home ground.
Given the current form and historical data, predictions lean towards a win or draw for Udinese. Empoli's lack of goals is a significant concern, with predictions indicating a possible under 3.5 goals for the match. The advice is a combo double chance: draw or Udinese and under 3.5 goals, with a 50% chance for either outcome.
In conclusion, while Empoli will be fighting hard to turn their fortunes around, Udinese appears to have the edge in this encounter. However, as we all know, football is unpredictable, and anything can happen on the day. All eyes will be on the Stadio Carlo Castellani – Computer Gross Arena come Friday.
