It’s party time! Empoli won the Serie A Week 6 game on Wednesday 27 September 2023 at the Carlo Castellani Stadium in Empoli, Italy. The victory helped Empoli to climb from the last position to the 19th position. Empoli, finally, got their first victory this season. Empoli is the first team in history that has not been able to win points or score in the first 5 seasonal matches of a Serie A championship – the Tuscans in general have not found the goal in the top tournament since the one in injury time against Verona on 28 May 2023 (540 minutes without scoring).
Empoli opened the score in the 34th minute. Tommaso Baldanzi defeated Salernitana goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa from very close range with a right-footed shot to the bottom right corner. The assist is by Matteo Cancellieri.

✅ Stats before the game: Empoli remained unbeaten in five of the six matches against Salernitana in Serie A (2W, 3D) – in these six matches in the top division both teams have always found the goal (22 in total, 3.7 on average per match). Perfect balance in the three top-flight matches played at the Castellani between Empoli and Salernitana: a success for each side and a draw, with five total goals for each side (in the last one the Tuscans won 2-1 on 8 May 2023 ). Salernitana has not yet found success in this championship (3D, 2L): previously, even in two of the four previous participations in Serie A they ended the first six matches of the season without a win (in 1998/99 and in 2021/22) . Salernitana is the team that has drawn the most away games since the beginning of 2023 in Serie A: seven out of 13 (1W, 5P).
👉 Lineup EMPOLI (4-3-1-2): Berisha; Bereszynski, Walukiewicz, Luperto, Pezzella; Grassi, Fazzini, Maleh; Baldanzi; Cancellieri, Shpendi.
👉 Lineup SALERNITANA (3-4-2-1): Ochoa; Lovato, Gyomber, Pirola; Mazzocchi, Martegani, Maggiore, Bradaric; Kastanos, Candreva; Cabral.
