It is getting crowded at the low end of the Serie A standings and Empoli will be looking to escape when they host Frosinone. These two meet on Sunday, tied on 31 points, just two points above the relegation zone. As things stand, 10 points from the remaining four matches will save either side from relegation. Hosts Empoli are coming from a 2-0 away loss at Atalanta and will see this as a game they can bounce back with. That was their fifth loss in eight matches, having failed to score in each of those defeats. Empoli’s two wins in their last five matches all came at home. As they seek their third straight win at home, the hosts will also hope to improve on their goals tally. They’ve managed to score more than a goal in just two of their last 10 home matches. In half of their last 10 home matches, Empoli actually failed to score. Meanwhile, seven of their last 10 home matches in Serie A produced under 2.5 goals.

In their last five matches, Frosinone have made giant steps towards avoiding a straight return to Serie B. They come here unbeaten in their last five matches, the most recent being a 3-0 win over relegated Salernitana. That win, their seventh of the season in the league, enabled Frosinone to rise from the red zone and they’ll be looking to build on it. In their first meeting this season, Frosinone won 2-1, ending a run of three straight defeats against Empoli. Here they will feel as favorites, going by their recent run against Empoli’s. Three straight draws away from home also point to some improvement on Frosinone’s side. That run should be the building block for the visitors who are looking to rise from 10 straight matches without a win. They have six losses in their last 10 matches away from home. In that 10-game away run, Frosinone managed more than a goal in just two.
