What Empoli’s first halves look like
Early scoring in Empoli’s matches tends to happen at the wrong end. They let one in before the break in 44.1% of matches and find the net in 34.9%, 9.2pp apart. Travel costs Empoli at the back: 48.7% of their away matches bring an early goal against, next to 39.5% of home ones.
The first goal is usually the last one before the break: a second follows only 37% of the time against 45% division-wide. Getting two before the break is a stretch in this fixture: 24.3% against 31.8% across the division.
The record here is thinner than most of the division's: 152 matches against a typical 190. Empoli guard the first half better than they attack it: 13th of 25 in the division for early goals conceded, 18th for scoring them.
Every figure on this page rests on 152 completed Empoli matches over 4 seasons (2021 to 2025). That is enough to separate a clear tendency from noise, and not enough to split it much further by venue or opponent.

How to read these numbers
- These are historical rates over pooled seasons, not a forecast. A club that has changed manager, division or squad reads as the average of every version of itself on record.
- The opponent matters as much as the club. A high-scoring side against a defense that rarely concedes early is a different fixture from the same side against one that does.
