The 5th matchday of Serie A opens today with the direct clash between Cagliari and Empoli. The Sardinian club wants to leverage the push from the Unipol Domus to try to secure their first victory

English midfielder Tino Anjorin marked his first start for Empoli by setting up the opening goal in a 2-0 win at Cagliari in Serie A on Friday.The win was Empoli’s fifth game in a row undefeated, the club’s best start to a season in Serie A.

Empoli continued their unbeaten run at the beginning of the 2024-25 campaign with an encouraging 2-0 win away to early strugglers Cagliari, who are still in the relegation zone after a winless start

As mentioned, following the sackings of both Paolo Zanetti and then the returning Aurelio Andreazzoli, Davide Nicola managed to lead Empoli to survival on the final day of last season. This time around, former Lecce and Benevento boss Roberto D’Aversa is at the helm and the Florence-based club are overperforming their pre-season expectations.
