Empoli
At the start of the new season, Empoli struggled significantly. However, they managed to turn the situation around recently and even climbed out of the relegation zone. A major role in this transformation was played by the change of head coach, who quickly managed to instill a better style of play in the team.
Empoli still scores the fewest goals in the league, with only nine goals in 14 matches. However, this performance allows them to hope for remaining in the elite league as they currently sit in the 17th position.
Lecce
Before the season started, experts considered Lecce as a candidate for relegation, but they surprised everyone and started the new campaign quite successfully. However, after a splendid start where they managed to stay in the European spots for 6-7 rounds, Lecce gradually began to lose ground. The playing style that yielded results at the beginning of the season seemed to fade away.
Currently, the team is in the 13th position, with only a six-point difference from the relegation zone.
