Complicated away game for the grenades on Saturday at 15:00: there will be a team in form at the Castellani in Empoli
Last Saturday against Fiorentina, the grenades achieved their first league victory in 2023 thanks to a goal from Miranchuk. In the match valid for the 20th day of Serie A, Toro will play away again and again in Tuscany, this time against Empoli. Game full of pitfalls and in a difficult field for Juric’s men, who will face a team that has returned from 6 consecutive useful results. Great moment of form for Zanetti’s team.
Empoli’s moment
Empoli is currently in ninth place in the standings at 25 points, just one point behind Toro eighth at 26. 17 goals scored and 22 conceded, with 6 wins, 7 draws and 6 defeats. A path far above expectations, with 14 points collected in the last 6 games. In fact the victories against Cremonese (2-0), Sassuolo (2-1), Sampdoria (1-0) and Inter (0-1) arrived. Instead draws away against Udinese (1-1) and Lazio (2-2). The Tuscans are galvanized by the San Siro feat, conquered thanks to Baldanzi’s goal following a Bajrami assist.
Caputo and many young people
Apulian striker Francesco Caputo returned to Empoli after experiences with Sassuolo and Sampdoria, and immediately left his mark. There are also many promising and interesting young players, starting with the goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario up to Baldanzi (born in 2003) and forward Cambiaghi. A perfect mix of experience and youth, in a society where the grenade Samuele Ricci also grew up. The midfielder himself underlined in an interview how well Empoli work well with young players, ever since they were children.
