Carrarese presents solid home form with 40% wins and only 20% losses at their own stadium, with their goal difference in home matches standing at +4. The hosts stand out with high offensive efficiency in the last five matches, scoring 7 goals, and their average xG (1.58) in home games surpasses Empoli's xG away (1.06). Empoli has very poor away form with 56% losses and a negative goal difference (-4), recording not a single away draw this season. Additionally, the guests failed to score in 33% of away matches, which, given Carrarese's solid defense (60% clean sheets at home), could prove crucial. Considering all statistics, the hosts' advantage is clear, although Empoli's experience as a team from a higher league may make the match more competitive than the numbers suggest.
