Genoa, Recent FormThe Genoa squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 2-1 away defeat against Frosinone, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. Their share of possession in that meeting was 42%, while racking up 13 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target, in contrast to Frosinone, who had 9 shots on goal with 5 on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 4, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 7 goals and some valuable points in the process. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games but have only managed to keep 2 clean sheets in those games.
Losing 4 of their last 6 outings will not be looked on kindly by their manager; however, they did salvage some valuable points by winning the other 2 games.
Albert Guðmundsson will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 4 goals in the last 6 league outings for Genoa.
Empoli, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Empoli players having failed to take any points away from their recent 4-3 home defeat at the hands of Sassuolo. They achieved 49% possession in that match and had 11 strikes at goal, with 9 hitting the target, up against Sassuolo's tally of 17 efforts at goal, 9 of which were on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 7 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 9 and seen valuable points lost. This season they've failed to score in 8 of their 13 games.
They're experiencing a relativley poor spell of form on the road, having lost 4 of their last 6 away games despite notching up a couple of wins. It has been a particularly poor run of form in the league, having racked up 9 defeats in 13 games.
On an individual basis, Francesco Caputo will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Empoli's last 6 league games.
The previous match between these two ended without a goal and a share of the spoils, so it wasn't one to remember on that occasion.
Playing at home, Genoa have failed to score in 2 of their last 3 league games against Empoli.
The last 2 league meetings between these teams have ended in a draw, but Genoa may still feel they have the upper hand, given they have not lost any of their last 7 league encounters with Empoli.
Genoa manager Alberto Gilardino has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Caleb Ekuban (Muscle), Albert Guðmundsson (Calf), Filip Jagiełło (Physical discomfort) and Mateo Retegui (Knee) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Tommaso Baldanzi (Sprained ankle) and Giuseppe Pezzella (Back) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Aurelio Andreazzoli will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
