Empoli and Palermo meet often and the games usually end with Palermo goals. In the last two meetings Palermo came out on top both times. This time it is different because Palermo arrive as league leaders, while Empoli are still 12th. Empoli have just lost two in a row, and their attack has been blunt all season, while Palermo are unbeaten in their last five and have scored freely in several of those games. Palermo are likely to dominate the ball and push forward, while Empoli, at home, will probably sit in a block and wait for counter-attacking chances in the space Palermo leave behind when they push high. If Empoli can hold firm and avoid conceding early, the game should be drawn out and finish without much between the sides.
