Lecce, Recent FormLecce will be looking to regroup after their bruising encounter with AC Milan in which they suffered a 3-0 away defeat. During that encounter they had 36% possession and had 12 attempts on goal with 7 on target, while their opponents hit 8 of their 16 shots on goal.
Having conceded 9 goals and scored just 2 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 5 points. They have been unable to score at home in 4 of their last 6 games, and so far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 27 of their 31 games overall.
They've had a poor run of form at Stadio Via del Mare recently, losing 3 of their last 6 home games and managing only 1 win.
Empoli, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 3-2 home win over Torino in their last league game, Empoli will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. In that game they had 36% possession and managed 4 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Torino who had 19 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 9 goals and some valuable points in the process. Although failing to score in 4 of their last 6 games, they may have turned a corner having won their last 1.
Losing 4 of their last 6 games will be causing some concern in the Empoli camp, but their 2 wins salvaged some valuable points.
On an individual basis, Francesco Caputo will be looking to cause Lecce some problems having scored 2 goals in Empoli's last 6 away games in the league.
In the previous encounter between these sides, both teams grabbed goals, with the match finishing in a 1-1 draw.
The Azzurri defence has struggled at Stadio Via del Mare, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 6 visits.
When playing away from home in the league, Empoli have failed to win any of their last 3 meetings with Lecce, with the last 2 of those games ending in a draw.
With only Kastriot Dermaku (Cruciate ligament) and Mohamed Kaba (Knee) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Luca Gotti will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
With Alberto Grassi (Muscle) and Ardian Ismajli (Thigh) both unavailable and Tyronne Ebuehi (Cruciate ligament) being out for the rest of the season, Empoli manager Davide Nicola will be glad to have no other major fitness concerns going into this tie.
