- 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.

- 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.
