Overview
As the Serie A season edges closer to its conclusion, Udinese is set to host Empoli at the Bluenergy Stadium in a match that could have significant implications for both teams. With only a few games left in the season, Udinese sits at 15th place with 33 points, while Empoli is not far behind, occupying the 18th spot with 32 points. Both teams will be looking to secure crucial points in their bid for league survival.
Udinese
Udinese has had a challenging season, with only 5 wins out of 36 played games. However, their ability to draw matches, having done so 18 times, has been a saving grace, keeping them just above the relegation zone. The team's recent form shows a mixed bag of results with one win and two draws in their last five games, indicating some resilience. Their last fixture was a confidence-boosting 2-0 away victory against Lecce, where they managed to keep a clean sheet and take all three points. Playing at home this time around, they will be looking to capitalize on their recent win and the support of their fans at the Bluenergy Stadium. Historically, Udinese has had a slight edge over Empoli in their last five encounters, with two wins and two draws.
Empoli
Empoli finds themselves in a precarious position as they are currently in the relegation zone. With 8 wins this season but 20 losses, their form has been inconsistent. The team's recent performances have not inspired much confidence either, with only one win in their last five games and suffering a defeat in their most recent match against Lazio. The 2-0 loss would have been a blow to their morale as they fight to stay up in Serie A. Despite this, Empoli has shown that they can hold their own against Udinese in past meetings, with one win and two draws in their last five matchups.

Prediction
The prediction for this encounter leans towards Udinese as the likely winner. Playing at home with the support of their fans and coming off a recent victory could give them the edge they need against an Empoli side struggling for form. Moreover, Udinese's slightly better head-to-head record against Empoli adds to the belief that they may come out on top in this crucial match-up.
