Empoli vs Lazio

The last Empoli win in Serie A was back on 8th December 2024 against Hellas Verona: 19 games in a row without a win (D6 L13) is the worst such record for the Tuscan club in Serie A; in addition, the last time the azzurri won a match against a club avove them in the standings was the last MD of Serie A 2023/24 (2-1 against Roma).
