Empoli will not be too disheartened with their 1-0 home defeat at the hands of Inter Milan who sit so many places above them in the table.  In that game they had 39% possession and managed 7 attempts on goal, with 1 on target, compared to Inter Milan who had 23 attempts and 6 on target.  

Things look pretty bleak for manager Paolo Zanetti, with his team unable to score in their last 6 games, and their defence not doing any better having conceded 15 goals at the other end.  They have failed to score in their last 6 games, and they have also failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 14 games.  

Serious concerns will be mounting for Azzurri, having gone without a win in their last 7 league games and lost the last 6 in a row.

A 1-1 draw against Frosinone will be viewed as a positive outcome for Salernitana and a valuable point into the bargain.  Their share of possession in that meeting was 49%, while racking up 19 shots along the way, 6 of which were on target. Frosinone had 9 shots on goal with 3 on target.  

Having scored 4 goals and conceded 11 in their last 6 games, they will need to improve at both ends if they are to pick up more points from here on.  They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games.  

Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 11 games.  

Goalscorer Boulaye Dia will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 5 goals in his last 6 league matches for Salernitana.
