Stats for this game
Matchup Empoli VS Pisa
Empoli build the stronger line
Empoli’s competitive wins provide the clearest direction in this pairing. They won 3-2 away at Pisa on 24 September 2019, then beat Pisa 3-1 at home on 23 October 2020. Those scorelines show Empoli prevailing at both venues, with enough separation to establish an edge without making the matchup predictable. The margins remain meaningful because they came in different settings.
Parity and a shootout response
Pisa resisted with a 1-1 draw at home on 20 February 2021. The same scoreline appeared in the Coppa Italia tie on 17 August 2026, after which Pisa advanced 4-3 on penalties. That resolution gives Pisa a formal success in the cup while preserving the level open-play score. Empoli therefore retain the stronger winning reference, but the draw-based evidence and shootout outcome prevent a simple hierarchy.
What the balance invites
Future meetings will test whether Empoli can turn their competitive edge into another complete result, or whether Pisa can extend their resistance beyond draws and penalty decisions. The fixture remains compelling because control and parity both have concrete support.
