Atalanta, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Atalanta players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-0 away defeat at the hands of Napoli. They achieved 40% possession in that match and had 6 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Napoli's tally of 17 efforts at goal, 6 of which were on target.
Having conceded 7 goals and scored just 3 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 4 points. They have clocked up an impressive run of form in front of goal at Gewiss Stadium recently, having found the net in 5 of their last 6 home matches. Having shipped goals in 9 out of their 12 matches this season, supremo Gian Piero Gasperini will not be pleased with his team's struggles to keep a clean sheet at home.
With 4 defeats and just 1 victory in their last 6 league matches, they have had a poor run and will need to turn that around if they want to start climbing the table.
On an individual basis, Ademola Lookman will be looking to get on the scoresheet again at Gewiss Stadium having scored 5 goals in Atalanta's last 6 home games in the league.
Empoli, Recent FormThe Empoli players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their home fixture against Udinese recently, that ended in a 1-0 defeat. They came away from that fixture with a 62% share of the possession and clocked up 17 attempts on goal with 3 on target, in comparison to Udinese, who managed 14 attempts on goal, 4 of which were on target.
Having scored 4 goals and conceded 10 in their last 6 games, they will need to improve at both ends if they are to pick up more points from here on. Away goals have been high on their agenda recently, having scored in 5 of their last 6 away league games. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.
Results wise, their recent poor run of form has left them without a win in 7 games.
Tommaso Baldanzi will be hoping to create problems for Atalanta in this one, having scored 2 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Empoli.
In the last league encounter between these sides, it was Empoli who ended up empty-handed, losing 0-2 to Atalanta.
During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league at Gewiss Stadium, Atalanta have been unable to break through the visitor's defence and find the back of the net. Playing away from home, Empoli have scored in 2 of their last 3 league games against Atalanta.
With only Hans Hateboer (Cruciate ligament) and Teun Koopmeiners (Hamstring) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Gian Piero Gasperini will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick 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.
