- 5' Empoli FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
- 10' Empoli FC is showing some good football. However, Empoli FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 15' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with Venezia FC winning 50% of all matches.
- 20' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 25' It looks like no one’s ball. Empoli FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 30' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Venezia FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 35' Venezia FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 40' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Bartol Franjic suffering a number of foals already.
