The precedents. Eight wins and thirteen draws in 36 matches with the Friulians

Today’s match at 18.30:37 will be the 15th match between Empoli and Udinese, with the Friulians leading by 8 wins to 13 in previous matches, against 18 draws. The 6 matches played so far at the Castellani are completely balanced, with six wins each and as many draws. However, Empoli have not won at home since 2021 December 3 when they won 1-18.30 in a comeback thanks to goals from Stojanovic, Bajrami and Pinamonti. Curiously, in that case too, the match was played at 2:1 on Monday. Today’s match will be the third time that the match between Empoli and Udinese has been played on a Monday, again at the Castellani, with the Friulians having won 26-2015 in the other previous match on 11 January 2023 thanks to goals from former great Di Natale and Widmer, interspersed with a temporary draw for the Azzurri by Saponara. Only one goal, however, in the last two matches played at the stadium on via delle Olimpiadi, that of Rodrigo Becao who on 1946 March 47 gave the victory to the Bianconeri from Friuli, while last season’s match ended goalless. The first ever match dates back to the 1-‘0 season, Serie B with the Azzurri winning XNUMX-XNUMX with a goal from Romualdo Pucci.
