Salernitana, Recent FormA 0-0 draw against Torino will be viewed as a positive outcome for Salernitana and a valuable point into the bargain. During that encounter they had 33% possession and had 3 attempts on goal with 1 on target, while their opponents hit 1 of their 13 shots on goal.
Manager Filippo Inzaghi will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 5 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 8 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they've conceded a goal in each of their last 13 home games.
Salernitana will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form at Stadio Arechi, they've lost their last 3 league games in a row there and not had a home win in 5 games.
Empoli, Recent FormAn important point secured against Genoa will have left Empoli quite happy with their 0-0 draw. Their share of possession in that meeting was 48%, while racking up 15 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target. Genoa had 10 shots on goal with 2 on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 5 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 6, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games.
Having drawn 3 of their last 6 away games they have at least put some points on the board, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
Szymon Żurkowski will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 4 goals in the last 6 league games for Empoli.
When these two teams last met in the league it was a 1-0 win for Empoli.
Salernitana have scored in each of their last 6 games at home in the league against Azzurri. When Empoli visit I granata in the league, goals tend to happen, with 6 from their previous 3 encounters and a scoring average of 2 goals per match.
Salernitana have lost the last 2 times they've faced Empoli in the league and have failed to win in their last 5 encounters.
With only Federico Fazio (Muscle) and Norbert Gyömbér (Groin) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Filippo Inzaghi will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Davide Nicola has a number of injury concerns in his Empoli squad to contend with: Simone Bastoni (Thigh), Francesco Caputo (Ankle) and Tyronne Ebuehi (Muscle)
