Empoli, Recent FormEmpoli will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 3-1 home win against Bologna. In that game they had 28% possession and managed 13 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Bologna who had 17 attempts and 3 on target.
It's fair to say that manager Paolo Zanetti will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 5 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 7 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. Of their last 6 games played at home, they've have been unable to score in 3 games and only kept 1 clean sheet.
This will be regarded as a poor run of form, with 3 defeats from their last 6 matches and just 2 victories.
Salernitana, Recent FormSalernitana will have been quite satisfied taking a point from their last match against Fiorentina, which ran out a 3-3 draw. In that game they recorded 47 % of the possession, with 4 attempts on goal, 3 on target. Their opponents found the target on 3 of their 12 shots on goal.
Manager Paulo Sousa will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 10 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 7 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They've been not been beaten away from home in 5 league games, but with just a single point from each of their last 5 games on the road, the I granata travelling support will be beginning to wonder how long they'll have to wait to see their team win an away fixture again.
Having scored 5 goals in his last 6 league games for Salernitana, Boulaye Dia will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
In the most recent meeting between these teams, they both managed to find the net, but the game finished in a 2-2 draw.
Empoli have scored in each of their last 9 games at home in the league against I granata.
The last 2 league meetings between these teams has ended with a share of the spoils but Salernitana will be slighlty more concerned that they have not won this fixture in 3 games.
There is only really one injury concern for the Empoli manager Paolo Zanetti ahead of this clash, with Koni De Winter (Knee) missing out, which gives Zanetti a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
Paulo Sousa has a number of injury concerns in his Salernitana squad to contend with: Antonio Candreva (Calf), Domen Črnigoj (Calf), Federico Fazio (Ankle) and Diego Valencia (Muscle)
