Empoli, in turn, had successful streak in the end of first part of the season, taking seven point in four matches and getting out of the relegation zone. The team is now on 17th place in the league with 17 points gained, maintaining seven-point handicap before the drop line. The team focuses on denying opponents’ efforts in away matches but also have big problems with scoring. So, Empoli gained six points on the road in nine matches with 5-11 goal difference. However, four out of these five goals were scored against Pescara (4-0).
