Atalanta, Recent FormAtalanta will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 2-1 winners in their away fixture against Monza. They came away from that fixture with 42% of the possession and clocked up 12 attempts on goal with 6 on target. By comparison, Monza managed 17 attempts on goal, with 2 on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 11 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. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games; however, they have scored in 14 of their 15 home games this season.
It has been a solid run of home form of late, having gone undefeated in 5 of their last 6 matches at home and clocking up 4 wins along the way.
Goalscorer Teun Koopmeiners will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Atalanta.
Empoli, Recent FormEmpoli will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 1-0 home win against Napoli. In that game they had 27% possession and managed 7 attempts on goal, with 1 on target, compared to Napoli who had 9 attempts and 1 on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 4 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 7, and leading to valuable points being dropped. Although failing to score in 4 of their last 6 games and having conceded at least one goal in 5 of those games, they may have turned a corner having won their last 1.
Despite picking up some valuable points from 2 wins, the 4 lost matches from 6 will be the main concern for them.
On an individual basis, M'Baye Niang will be looking to cause Atalanta some problems having scored 2 goals in Empoli's last 6 away games in the league.
Empoli will be looking to forget their last league encounter with Atalanta, when a slew of goals ended in a heavy 0-3 defeat.
In each of the previous 3 matches against Atalanta, Azzurri have let in at least one goal. Playing at home, Atalanta have failed to score in 2 of their last 3 league games against Empoli.
Atalanta has won the last 3 games they've played against Empoli in the league.
There is only really one injury concern for the Atalanta manager Gian Piero Gasperini ahead of this clash, with Giorgio Scalvini (Hamstring) missing out, which gives Gasperini a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
With Tyronne Ebuehi (Cruciate ligament) being out for the rest of the season and Ardian Ismajli (Thigh) also unavailable in the shorter term, Empoli manager Davide Nicola will be pleased to have no other major fitness concerns going into this tie.
