Empoli vs Virtus Entella, 17 April 2027, Serie B: form, head-to-head and match facts

Empoli host Virtus Entella in what promises to be a tightly contested clash in the lower half of the table. Sitting 12th with six points from five games – two wins and three losses and a modest 4‑6 goal return – the hosts will be eager to close the gap to the safety zone. Entella, currently 14th, have collected five points, having won once, drawn twice and lost twice, while their attack has been slightly more prolific, netting seven times at the cost of six. The two sides have already exchanged blows this season, and with only a single point separating them, a positive result could see Empoli climb into the top ten and push Entella further towards the relegation battle. Both teams will need to tighten up defensively, as the goal difference margin remains razor‑thin.
