Frosinone and Empoli approach their head-to-head match with different motivations but similar play patterns. The hosts are fighting for direct promotion to Serie A, sitting in second place (52 points) and with only one defeat in their last 10 matches. However, they rarely keep clean sheets: Frosinone has conceded in four of their last five matches, but has consistently scored.
Empoli is mid-table (11th place, 29 points) and is experiencing serious defensive issues. The visitors have conceded in nine of their last ten matches, and their winless streak has reached five. However, the Tuscans' attack is stable: they have scored in four of their last five meetings, including matches against the leaders (Palermo and Modena).
The teams drew 1-1 in the first half, reflecting the general pattern of their meetings – goals are exchanged. Given the attacking potential of both sides, as well as Empoli's defensive issues and the hosts' penchant for high-scoring matches, the most likely scenario is a game in which both teams score.
