Empoli take on the visitors Cagliari in the round 17 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Saturday, December 17th at tadio Carlo Castellani (Empoli).
Empoli are on their way to the Serie B and they need to improve their football greatly if they want to avoid relegation. The team gained only one points in their recent four matches with only one goal scored and 11 allowed. Empoli have only 11 points gained and such record put the team on 17th place after 17 matches played and 7-24 aggregate goal difference. We should note that four of these seven goals were scored in one match against Pescara while in other 16 matches the team found the back of the net only three times. Eight matches at home got the team only five points and the team is unable to win at home for six matches in a row.

Cagliari also fail to impress in recent games, recording six defeats in nine matches, including humiliating loss to Napoli in recent league match, 0-5. The team has 20 points gained in 16 matches with 23-37 aggregate goal difference and they are close to the relation zone. Cagliari are awful in matches on the road, taking only four points in eight matches.
Empoli have big problems scoring goals this season while Cagliari are simply poor in matches on the road so far. We have all reasons to expect a match with poor action and small number of goals. Both teams need points in the match to distant themselves from the drop zone and the opponents likely to be focused on defensive actions first.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 goals.
