Sassuolo, Recent FormBuilding up confidence within his squad will be a priority for Sassuolo supremo Alessio Dionisi after sustaining a heavy 3-0 away loss to Salernitana. They came away from that fixture with 53% of the possession and clocked up 11 attempts on goal with 2 on target. By comparison, Salernitana managed 13 attempts on goal, with 5 on target.
When it comes to attacking power Dionisi will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 8 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 9 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They are showing great consistency at Mapei Stadium-Città del Tricolore in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 home games. When playing at home this season, Sassuolo has notched up a tally of 6 clean sheets, highlighting the struggle some of their opponents have had to break through on goal.
Being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 league matches at Mapei Stadium-Città del Tricolore, suggests a consistent run of home form, especially when we consider that 4 of these results were wins.
Empoli, Recent FormEmpoli boss Paolo Zanetti will need to instil positive feelings within his team after they endured a 3-0 home mauling from Inter Milan. They achieved 39% possession in that match and had 11 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Inter Milan's tally of 16 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
Having conceded 7 goals and scored just 2 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 4 points. There are concerning signs for them, having failed to score in 4 of their last 6 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.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 6 games.
It was one to forget for Sassuolo last time they met Empoli in the league, falling to a 1-0 defeat.
The Azzurri defence has struggled at Mapei Stadium-Città del Tricolore, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 9 visits.
There is only really one injury concern for the Sassuolo manager Alessio Dionisi ahead of this clash, with Domenico Berardi (Muscle) missing out, which gives Dionisi a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
Paolo Zanetti has a number of injury concerns in his Empoli squad to contend with: Jean-Daniel Akpa Akpro (Sprained ankle), Koni De Winter (Knee) and Guglielmo Vicario (Concussion)
