Empoli fans better hope the squad plays one heck of a game on Sunday as the odds are decidedly against them. Empoli will head out on the road to face off against Fiorentina at Stadio Artemio Franchi. If the final from the last time they met is any indication, this game could be decided by whoever gets on the board.
Empoli and Spezia finished up their game with a 2-2 draw. The disappointing result was just more of the same for Empoli, who haven’t won a game since January 28th.
