&lt;p&gt;Empoli and Venezia will meet in a 15:00 CEST kick-off at the Castellani Computer Gross Arena, with the two teams level on points and currently in the relegation zone. The Tuscans, who have picked up two points from their last three matches and lost to Napoli in their last outing, need a win that has been missing since they beat Verona on 8 December. Three points would see them move above Venezia and markedly boost their survival prospects.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It’s also a crucial clash for Venezia, who have lost just one of their last seven matches and drew level on points with Empoli after getting the better of Monza last week.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HEAD-TO-HEAD&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Among the teams against which they have never lost in Serie A, Venezia have faced Empoli most often (five times – W2 D3).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the nine matches in Serie A and Serie B between Empoli and Venezia at the Tuscans` home, both teams have always scored: 35 goals in total, at an average of 3.9 per match.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DID YOU KNOW?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Empoli have never played a Serie A match on Easter Sunday, while Venezia have already done so on six occasions, obtaining one win, one draw and four defeats (one of those defeats was an awarded game, on 24 March 1940 against Milan, after the match had ended with a score of 0-0).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Empoli have earned nine points at home and 15 away in this championship and they have the largest difference between points won in home and away games in the Serie A 2024-25 (6).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After a run of eight draws and six defeats, Venezia won their last Serie A match, 1-0 against Monza; the Lagunari have not achieved two consecutive victories in the competition since November 2021, against Roma and Bologna in that case.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If only the goals scored by Italian players in all matches of Serie A this season were considered, Empoli would have 31 more points than they currently have (55 v 24), the highest such difference among all teams in Serie A in 2024-25, and they would be in third position behind Fiorentina and Atalanta in the standing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Venezia have lost the most points from leading situations in this championship (26); considering the three points for a win era, the Lagunari have only lost more in 1999/2000 (28).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PLAYERS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Giuseppe Pezzella is, along with Tino Anjorin, one of two Empoli players with the most assists in Serie A this season; the defender has provided three assists in the Serie A in 2024-25, as many as between 2021-22 and 2023-24, and only in 2020-21 (4) has he done better in a single season in the top division.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In Serie A this season, Mikael Ellertsson has scored two goals and provided two assists, with three of his involvements being in away games; the only exception is the assist last time out against Monza – the Venezia winger has never been involved in a goal in consecutive appearances in Serie A.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DISCIPLINE&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Suspended: Fila (Venezia)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cautioned: Henderson, Cacace (Empoli); Idzes, Perez (Venezia)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;REFEREE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;MASSA (PASSERI – COSTANZO) IV: SANTORO, VAR: MARIANI, AVAR: MARINI&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;UPCOMING MATCHES IN SERIE A&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fiorentina-Empoli&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Venezia-Milan&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Photo Getty Images)&lt;/p&gt;

The Tuscans, who have picked up two points from their last three matches and lost to Napoli in their last outing, need a win that has been missing since they beat Verona on 8 December. Three points would see them move above Venezia and markedly boost their survival prospects.It’s also a crucial clash for Venezia, who have lost just one of their last seven matches and drew level on points with Empoli after getting the better of Monza last week. HEAD-TO-HEADAmong the teams against which they have never lost in Serie A, Venezia have faced Empoli most often (five times – W2 D3).In the nine matches in Serie A and Serie B between Empoli and Venezia at the Tuscans` home, both teams have always scored: 35 goals in total, at an average of 3.9 per match. DID YOU KNOW?Empoli have never played a Serie A match on Easter Sunday, while Venezia have already done so on six occasions, obtaining one win, one draw and four defeats (one of those defeats was an awarded game, on 24 March 1940 against Milan, after the match had ended with a score of 0-0).Empoli have earned nine points at home and 15 away in this championship and they have the largest difference between points won in home and away games in the Serie A 2024-25 (6).After a run of eight draws and six defeats, Venezia won their last Serie A match, 1-0 against Monza; the Lagunari have not achieved two consecutive victories in the competition since November 2021, against Roma and Bologna in that case.If only the goals scored by Italian players in all matches of Serie A this season were considered, Empoli would have 31 more points than they currently have (55 v 24), the highest such difference among all teams in Serie A in 2024-25, and they would be in third position behind Fiorentina and Atalanta in the standing.Venezia have lost the most points from leading situations in this championship (26); considering the three points for a win era, the Lagunari have only lost more in 1999/2000 (28).
