Match description
Sampdoria holds a clear advantage in creation and control at home: they average 1.48 xG and 13.63 shots per match at home, while Empoli record 1.16 xG and 9.93 shots on the road. The hosts concede 1.06 goals on average at their stadium and keep 31% clean sheets, whereas Empoli concede 1.8 goals away and have only a 20% clean sheet rate. Empoli compensates with better finishing (11% vs 9%) and a superior recent scoring form over the last 5 matches (10 goals for Empoli vs 3 for Sampdoria), but their away record is weak (goal difference -10 and 60% away losses). Both teams average about 1 point per match in the last 5 games, however the higher xG, greater shot volume and lower loss percentage for the hosts (home win% 44% vs away win% 27%) favor Sampdoria. Therefore I assess probabilities as 62% for the home side, 20% for a draw and 18% for the visitors.
