Empoli Look to End Their Away Scoring Woes

Cesena sit 15th in Serie B after eight games with Empoli one point behind in 16th. The home side have kept no clean sheets across those matches while conceding 1.5 goals a game overall. Empoli have averaged one goal per away fixture this season despite their run of four defeats in five. In the last seven head-to-head meetings Empoli have secured four wins. Cesena score 1.3 goals a game at the Dino Manuzzi yet concede the same amount on average there. Empoli have failed to score in just two of their eight league outings so far. Whether Cesena’s defence holds firm against Empoli’s forward line will shape the early stages at kickoff.
