On Sunday, all eyes will be on Stadio Carlo Castellani – Computer Gross Arena as Empoli hosts Venezia in a crucial Serie A encounter. With both clubs locked on 24 points and hovering around the relegation zone, the stakes couldn't be higher.
Empoli currently sits just below Venezia in the standings, separated only by goal difference. The home side comes into this fixture looking to bounce back from a heavy 3-0 defeat to Napoli, a match where they struggled to impose themselves. Empoli registered only one shot on target despite having 12 attempts overall and just 37% possession. Napoli, on the other hand, were clinical, with Scott McTominay and Romelu Lukaku punishing defensive lapses.
The recent form doesn’t paint a promising picture for Empoli. They've suffered three defeats in their last six league matches and scored only once during that span, while conceding nine. Their attack has looked blunt, and their inability to convert chances remains a major concern.
Venezia, meanwhile, will be buoyed by their recent 1-0 win over Monza. Daniel Fila’s 72nd-minute goal secured a rare victory, although they still showed signs of struggle in possession and shot creation. Venezia managed 44% possession and four shots on target from nine attempts—solid numbers, but not dominant by any means.

Our Empoli vs Venezia Prediction
Historically, matches between these two sides have been tight, with few goals to show. In their last six meetings combined with other fixtures, only six goals have been scored, underlining the lack of offensive firepower and the defensive nature of their clashes. An average of just one goal per match suggests fans should expect another low-scoring contest.
Statistically, Empoli and Venezia are evenly matched. The expected possession may slightly tilt in Venezia’s favor, but both teams are inefficient in front of goal—Empoli averages under 10 shots per game with only two on target, while Venezia fares similarly. These figures indicate a match likely to be decided by a single moment or mistake.
Given Empoli’s slightly better form at home and Venezia’s poor away record—nine losses in 16 road games—the hosts might hold the edge. At odds of 2.45 for an Empoli win, the value is there. Still, with both teams desperate for points and survival, a cautious, defensive battle is more likely than a goal fest. Our prediction for Empoli vs. Venezia: Empoli to win.
