Empoli
Few remember the catastrophic start to the season Empoli endured, suffering five consecutive defeats. However, the team did not give up, and now they have good chances of retaining their Serie A status, currently sitting in 13th place with a 5-point cushion from the relegation zone. In the last round, they managed to defeat Sassuolo away from home, a direct competitor, with a decisive goal scored in injury time. Empoli is unbeaten in six consecutive matches (3 wins and 3 draws).
Cagliari
Although the Sardinians have returned to the elite of Italian football, staying here will be challenging. The team is currently second to last in the championship, albeit trailing the 17th place by only additional criteria. In the last round, Cagliari managed to salvage a draw at home against Napoli, equalizing in injury time. The team has not won in six consecutive matches, earning only 2 points during this period.
