Vicenza: struggling at the back

Vicenza sit even lower than their opponents - 17th in the table with six points. In their last ten matches, they have won just twice, drawn three times and lost five.

It is their weak defence that remains the main obstacle to picking up points, even though Vicenza have enough attacking potential to cause problems for stronger sides.

⭐ Editor's Prediction
Empoli are considered slight favourites for this match thanks to home advantage. However, their current form gives little reason to expect a comfortable win. Both sides have serious defensive problems, with Vicenza particularly vulnerable away from home. In each of their last six away matches, at least three goals have been scored. Empoli also regularly concede dangerous chances at their own end. The editor's main prediction is therefore Total Goals - Over 2.5.
