Fiorentina took to the pitch for the last time on Sunday, but only for a few minutes. The team's home match against Inter in the 14th round of the Italian championship was abandoned and postponed to a later date. Midfielder Edoardo Bove collapsed and was taken to the hospital, and the teams decided to cancel the match.
Raffaele Palladino's side also played a Conference League match at home to Pafos of Cyprus last week, winning 3:2. After four rounds of European competition, the Florentines are sixth out of 36 teams.
Empoli
The Blues played only one match last week as they do not participate in the European Cup. Roberto D'Aversa's side lost 3:0 to AC Milan. The defeat was only Empoli's fourth in 14 rounds of the championship. The Blues are tenth in the standings, five points above the relegation zone.
In the Coppa Italia, Empoli reached the round of 64 in August, where they defeated lower league side Catanzaro 4:1. Empoli then beat Torino 2:1 away in the round of 32.
Expert Betting Tips
We think the bookmakers have underestimated Empoli for this game. The visitors lost to Milan last Saturday, but on the whole, they have performed well this season—only four defeats in 14 league rounds and only 14 goals conceded in that period—defending the level of the best teams in Italy. Let's take Empoli, who hasn't lost to Fiorentina since April 2022—five games in a row. We also like Empoli to score fewer goals, given their efficiency in their half of the pitch.
