Head-to-head statistics Empoli - Venezia
Empoli Team Overview
๐Empoli find themselves in 19th place in the Serie A standings, enduring a challenging period. Their form is far from impressive, with just one win in their last ten matches and six losses. The "Blues" struggle offensively, averaging only 0.75 goals per game. However, their defensive approach often keeps opponents in check, though they concede more than one goal per match. Their most recent clash with Venezia ended in a 1-1 draw, offering a glimmer of hope for a positive result at home.

The "Blues" are dealing with a daunting injury list. The team has lost three players for the long term-Nicolas Haas, Pietro Pellegri, and Saba Sazonov are out for the season with cruciate ligament injuries. Additionally, Ardian Ismajli will be sidelined until the end of April due to a thigh injury, while Christian Kouamรฉ, Szymon ลปurkowski, and Youssef Maleh are recovering from knee injuries and won't return before early May.

Match Results: Empoli
Venezia Team Overview
๐Venezia sit in 18th place, also fighting for survival in the league. The team displays average form with a string of away draws and just one win in their last ten games. The main issue for the "Winged Lions" is their weak attack. They rarely score more than one goal even with good chances up front, averaging only 0.78 goals per game. However, their defense looks more solid compared to Empoli, conceding less than a goal in each of their last five matches.
On April 12th, Venezia secured a home victory over Monza with a 1-0 scoreline. This marked their first win in four months, allowing them to climb off the second-to-last spot in the table and level on points with Empoli. Head coach Eusebio Di Francesco noted that the team showed character and discipline, especially in defense, which was a key factor in achieving the result.
Venezia also have some absences, though not extensive. Daniel Fila will miss the match due to suspension, and Filip Stankovic is out until the end of April with a hamstring injury. Additionally, Michael Svoboda and Richie Sagrado (physical discomfort) are also unavailable, with Sagrado expected to return by the end of April. Joel Schingtienne is doubtful with a muscle injury. These absences affect both defense and goalkeeping positions, which could impact the team's reliability, although Andrei Radu has been confident on the line.

The clash between Empoli and Venezia promises to be intense, with both teams in the danger zone and desperately needing points. Under these circumstances, each side will aim for a win, as a draw against a key rival would be seen as a setback. Their head-to-head encounters also tend to be open affairs, with at least two goals scored in eight consecutive meetings. Given these trends, betting on over 1.5 goals seems like a well-founded prediction.
