Monza, Recent FormBuilding up confidence within his squad will be a priority for Monza supremo Raffaelle Palladino after sustaining a heavy 3-0 away loss to Salernitana. In that game they had 62% possession and managed 14 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Salernitana who had 12 attempts and 5 on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 6, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 7 goals and some valuable points in the process. They have clocked up an impressive run of form in front of goal at The U-Power Stadium recently, having found the net in 5 of their last 6 home matches. With just 2 clean sheets in the last 6 matches at home, Palladino will be worried about the defensive frailties within his team of late.
Monza will take some comfort from being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 home games, but having managed just 2 wins leaves them plenty of room for improvement.
Empoli, Recent FormEmpoli will not be too troubled by their 2-0 home defeat against Napoli, given the latter currently sit 14 places further up the league table than they do. They came away from that fixture with a 46% share of the possession and clocked up 9 attempts on goal with 2 on target, in comparison to Napoli, who managed 19 attempts on goal, 6 of which were on target.
It seems pretty certain that Paolo Zanetti will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 6 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 9 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. On the road, they are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 4 of their last 6 away games. Having failed to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches, they definitely have some defensive problems to resolve at the moment.
They've had a less than ideal run of form recently, winning just 1 of their last 6 games.
With 2 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Empoli, Tommaso Baldanzi will be looking to add more goals against Monza in this match.
The last league encounter between these two sides concluded with a 1-0 win for Empoli.
Monza have failed to manage a victory in their last 3 encounters in the league against Empoli.
There is only really one injury concern for the Monza manager Raffaelle Palladino ahead of this clash, with Andrea Ranocchia (Sprained ankle) missing out, which gives Palladino a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
With only Nicolò Cambiaghi (Muscle) and Mattia Destro (Calf) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Paolo Zanetti will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
