  • 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ismael Bennacer made 380 appearances and scored 9 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 10' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Empoli FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
