Empoli – Vicenza Virtus

Match analysis

Empoli host Vicenza Virtus in what promises to be a crucial clash in the lower half of the table, with the home side perched at 12th place on six points after two wins and three defeats, scoring four and conceding six. Vicenza sit just below them in 17th, having gathered five points from one win, two draws and two losses, while their goal tally of seven for and ten against reflects a leaky defence. The two teams have already met once this season, and the encounter could prove decisive for both clubs’ survival hopes, as Empoli look to close the gap on the safety zone and Vicenza aim to climb out of the relegation mire. A win for either side would tighten the mid‑table scramble and potentially reshape the standings as the campaign heads toward its decisive phase.
