Empoli Set to Stay Unbeaten Against Vicenza Virtus

Empoli sit in 14th place while Vicenza Virtus occupy 17th after seven games apiece. The hosts have taken three wins from their seven league matches compared to just one for the visitors. In their last five games Empoli secured one victory and one draw amid three losses, but Vicenza have yet to win any of theirs. Historical results strongly back the home side, who claimed three victories and one draw in the previous four clashes. Vicenza have allowed two goals per game this season and hold no clean sheets from seven outings. These trends suggest Empoli should stay unbeaten. A key factor will be how the home attack handles Vicenza’s occasional scoring threat on the road.
