In a weekend match on Saturday Nov 5th, in week 13, Empoli plays host to Sassuolo in a meeting of these two Serie A teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 15 degrees, which will be a great treat for players. Empoli is fresh off their 0-2 loss against Atalanta. Hans Hateboer struck first for Atalanta in the 32nd minute, then Ademola Lookman added another in the 59th minute In the end, Empoli couldn’t muster any offence and Atalanta ran away with the shutout win. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 10 points in their last 10 matches, while sassuolo sits at 11th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 0-4 loss against Napoli. Victor Osimhen struck first for Napoli in the 4th minute, then Victor Osimhen added another in the 19th minute on a feed from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia In the end, Sassuolo was frustrated by Napoli’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Napoli ended the match with the shutout victory. Sassuolo is looking for direction having 3 win and 4 losses in their last 10 matches.
This will be the first match for these two teams against eachother this season. Last season these teams were evenly matched with 1 win apiece.
Both Davide Frattesi and Armand Lauriente have been the hottest scorers for Sassuolo in the last 5 each having scored 2 goals. Bajrami and Mattia Destro are the top scorers for Empoli in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
