The Lecce team comes from a defeat in the Serie A, and its coach Luca Gotti wants to counter this trend by imposing a loss on his opponent, using the advantage of playing at home.

It appears that Lecce is encountering difficulties in scoring goals, as evidenced by their low number of goals scored and the high number of games in which they have failed to score. This could imply that their attacking play is lacking in quality and they need to work on creating better chances.

Lecce has a relatively low average of shots towards the goal, with only 3.73 attempts per game, and this is an indication that the team has a poor attack, and therefore scores few goals.

Lecce has a ball possession percentage of 41.18% in the league. This indicates that it is not the kind of team that shows up on the field to create play. Fans hope that something will change for the next match against Empoli and especially that the team will score more goals.

With a busy schedule, Lecce may have difficulty maintaining its performance facing multiple games in a short period of time. Despite the odds predicting a balanced game with Lecce and Empoli having odds for victory above 2, the team's busy schedule may be a decisive factor for the result.

With an away balance of 2 wins, 1 loss, and 2 draws in the Serie A, Empoli usually leaves little room for opponents to win.

Empoli may struggle to maintain their level of play when facing a grueling schedule featuring multiple games in quick succession. Despite both teams having odds of over 2 to win, Empoli busy schedule could play a significant role in the final outcome against Lecce.
