September 5th features a match where Salernitana hosts Empoli at Stadio Arechi in a meeting of these two closely matched Serie A teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy but hot day with daytime temperatures of 28 degrees, which hopefuly doesnt affect the pace of the match. 10th placed Salernitana is fresh off their 1-1 draw against Bologna. Marko Arnautović struck first for Bologna in the 52nd minute on a penalty kick, but Boulaye Dia got the equalizer for Salernitana in the 88th minute on a penalty kick earning them at least the one point. Salernitana is looking for direction having earned 11 points in their last 10 matches, while 14th placed Empoli is fresh off their 1-1 draw against Hellas Verona. Baldanzi struck first for Empoli in the 26th minute, then tied it up for Hellas Verona in the 69th minute on a feed from Josh Doig squeezing out at least the one point for Hellas Verona. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 9 points in their last 10 matches.
This will be the first match for these two teams against eachother this season. Last season Empoli won the head to head battle with 1 win and 1 draw.
Cambiaghi and Fabiano Parisi are the top scorers for Empoli in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats. Salernitana’s most prolific scorer has been Boulaye Dia. The French attacker has netted 2 goals over the last five matches.
