Empoli, on the other hand, have been struggling to find their rhythm, with only one win in their last five matches. Their 4-2-2-2 setup might offer some solidity, but they’ll need to be sharp to contain Venezia’s attacking threats. If they can tighten up defensively and hit on the counter, they might just snatch a point.Empoli, on the other hand, have been struggling to find their rhythm, with only one win in their last five matches.
