Game Preview
Spezia will host Empoli at Stadio Alberto Picco on Sunday to kick off their 2022-23 Serie A campaign. These are two teams who are eyeing top-flight survival in the new domestic campaign.
Last season, Spezia finished their campaign on a 10-6-22 record and 36 points, just 6 above the relegation zone. Empoli finished on a similar note, with a 10-11-17 record and 41 points of their own.
Spezia impressed in the Coppa Italia triumph over Como, and if they are able to keep the same level of performance this time, they have a good chance at taking down Empoli.
La Spezia has managed to stay in the Serie A thanks to a workforce that moves very little, who knows each other and has not conceded any quality start. A lot of teams in Italy wanted to acquire Daniele Verde, but he is still at the club, which gives a lot of hope to the fans of this team.
On the other hand, Empoli suffered a shocking loss to Spal in their Italian Cup opener, making things not look that great for them in this opening week of the season. On top of that, defender Lorenzo Tonelli is sidelined with injury.
If we look at the form of both teams then we might find a huge difference. Spezia at home has been quite impressive, with 12 wins in their last 15. In contrast, Empoli have suffered eight defeats in 10 Serie A away games, and they have triumphed only once in 16 away games over the slightly longer term.
The statistics between these two teams aren’t that far apart. Last season, Spezia averaged 1.1 goals per match, while allowing 1.9. Empoli FC scored 1.3 goals per game last season while giving up 1.8 per game. While Spezia is looking like the favorite team coming into this match, Empoli should have high hopes for this match.
