Fiorentina welcome the visitors Empoli in the Italian Serie A – Round 16. The match will be held on Sunday, December 16th, at the Stadio Artemio Franchi (Florence).
Fiorentina are winless in eight consecutive matches yet, losing in only two of them though. A remark should be made that five of those eight matches were away, the team met with Torino, Lazio, Roma, and Juventus. Fiorentina also had to visit Sassuolo who are currently quite a handful – at home, they’ve lost only once, to Milan.

The newcomer to the league, Empoli, count four wins, all on their turf. On their travels this season, they haven’t celebrated a win yet. Even in the outings against the last Frosinone and Chievo (Empoli sit fourteenth), they registered only draws. In the season before last, yet in Round 32, when Empoli were struggling for survival (ultimately unsuccessfully), they managed to win the ‘Lilies’ away. Also, they registered two draws in Florence prior to this win. Fiorentina, however, were victorious in five of six home matches against Empoli in their previous head-to-heads. Now it is high time for Empoli to pay back.
Fiorentina celebrate no wins in eight rounds in a row indeed. They are winless in three consecutive home matches. So, this series should break one day then. At this, Fiorentina lost only once on their turf – that was the last fixture against the champion Juventus. Fiorentina’s fans will not be too grumpy because of that fail, for sure, but the players should please them with a win somehow. Their opponent are weak in away matches, as we see it. Fiorentina are also stronger in terms of their squad, even without Veretout, Fernandez, and Milenkovic (yellow cards). Gerson, Simeone, Benassi, Сhiesa, Mirallas, Pezzella, and Co should entertain their fans with a long-awaited victory tomorrow.
Prediction for the match: Fiorentina to win home.
