Fiorentina, 8th position with 37 points and a positive goal difference of +8

The Tuscan Derby in the Serie A Week 25 ended with a draw on Sunday 18 February 2024 at the Carlo Castellani Stadium in Empoli, Italy.  Empoli  got at least one point and the dream to move away from the relegation zone.  This is the fifth consecutive useful result since  Davide Nicola’s arrival on the bench for Empoli, who move two points ahead of third-last place, occupied by Hellas Verona and Sassuolo. However, the difficult period continues for Fiorentina, who fail to overtake Roma at least momentarily, but reach 38 points, seven points away from fourth place

Fiorentina opened the score in the 29th minute. Lucas Beltrán defeated Empoli goalkeeper with a right-footed shot to the bottom left corner. The assist is by Rolando Mandragora.

Empoli equalized in the 56th minute. M’Baye Niang defeated Fiorentina goalkeeper converting a penalty with a right-footed shot. The penalty was conceded by Davide Faraoni after a foul on Matteo Cancellieri.

✅    Stats before the game: Empoli remained unbeaten in five of the last six Serie A matches against Fiorentina (W3, D2), also winning the first leg 2-0; the Azzurri have never found success in both seasonal matches against the Viola in the competition. This is the sixth time in the entire history of Serie A in which Fiorentina will face Empoli with more than 15 points difference in the standings compared to the Azzurri; however, after winning the first three of these matches, the Viola were defeated in the two most recent ones (10 April 2016 and 15 April 2017). Empoli have won three of their last five home games against Fiorentina in Serie A (1N, 1L) and have kept a clean sheet three times in the partial – in general, there are five home clean sheets for the Azzurri against the Viola in the competition, against no opponent they count more (five also against Atalanta, Bologna, Turin and Udinese). Fiorentina have not found success in three of their last five Serie A matches against opponents in the bottom five positions of the table at the start of the day (1N, 2L): including the two most recent of the series – vs Sassuolo and Udinese – and the defeat in the first leg against Empoli. Only Salernitana (seven) scored fewer points at home than Empoli (nine) in the 2023/24 Serie A; Furthermore, the blue team is the team with the fewest goals scored in domestic matches in the current tournament, just eight.
