Carrarese seek first win as Empoli eye European spots
Carrarese fight to climb away from the drop zone while Empoli sit just one point adrift of the European qualification places.
Carrarese enter this fixture 14th in the table with just one point from their opening two matches, leaving them only a single point above the relegation zone. Manager Cioffi continues to deploy a 3-5-2 system but is still searching for his first victory of the campaign following a 1-1 draw at Ascoli and a narrow home defeat to Mantova.
Empoli occupy 11th place with three points, remaining firmly in the hunt for European contention with 36 games still to play. After an encouraging 1-0 opening win over Cremonese, their momentum was halted last time out by a 3-1 away defeat to Mantova, highlighting potential vulnerabilities when travelling.
