Match description

Venezia is the clear favorite: they sit 1st in the table, score an average of 2.35 goals at home and concede only 0.71 per match, while Empoli away averages 1.00 scored and 1.71 conceded. The difference in creation quality is visible in xG and shot volume — Venezia at home has xG 2.05 and averages 19.24 shots (6.47 on target), whereas Empoli away records xG 1.14, 9.94 shots and 3.18 on target. The hosts’ form confirms their advantage: Venezia scored 11 goals in the last 5 matches (2.2 per game) and averages 2.2 points over that period, while Empoli has 6 goals and averages 1.0 point. Defensively Venezia has 47% clean sheets and only 6% of matches without conceding, and Empoli away has 18% clean sheets and 35% of matches without scoring, which increases the hosts’ chances of maintaining a lead. Considering the superiority in efficiency (2.35 vs 1.00), xG (2.05 vs 1.14) and attacking intensity (19.24 vs 9.94), I tip a Venezia victory; estimated probabilities are 78% home, 12% draw and 10% away win.
