Empoli, Recent FormEmpoli will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 3-2 away win against Sassuolo. During that encounter they had 46% possession and had 14 attempts on goal with 6 on target, while their opponents hit 5 of their 19 shots on goal.
Manager Davide Nicola will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 11 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 5 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 games at Stadio Carlo Castellani.
There will be mixed feelings from Azzurri, although undefeated in their last 3 league games at home, 2 of these games ended in a draw.
On an individual basis, Szymon Żurkowski will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 4 goals in Empoli's last 6 league games.
Cagliari, Recent FormA 1-1 draw against Napoli will be viewed as a positive outcome for Cagliari and a valuable point into the bargain. They came away from that fixture with a 29% share of the possession and clocked up 8 attempts on goal with 3 on target, in comparison to Napoli, who managed 9 attempts on goal, 4 of which were on target.
Whilst they have scored a reasonable 5 goals in their last 6 games, they are struggling to pick up points due to their defence, who have shipped 14 goals in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but playing away from home, they have conceded a goal in 12 of their 13 games this season.
An away win for Cagliari is just a distant memory, having not won on the road in 13 games.
Marco Mancosu will be hoping to create problems for Empoli in this one, having scored 2 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Cagliari.
The last time these two sides met, it wasn't one to remember, finishing without a goal and both sides taking just a point for their efforts.
Playing at home, Empoli have scored in 3 of their last 3 league games against Cagliari.
The last 2 league meetings between these teams have ended in a draw, but Empoli may still feel they have the upper hand, given they have not lost any of their last 5 league encounters with Cagliari.
Empoli manager Davide Nicola has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Francesco Caputo (Ankle), Tyronne Ebuehi (Muscle) and Alberto Grassi (Physical discomfort) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Claudio Ranieri has a number of injury concerns in his Cagliari squad to contend with: Pantelis Hatzidiakos (Physical discomfort), Marco Mancosu (Knee), Gaetano Oristanio (Foot) and Eldor Shomurodov (Foot)
