Fiorentina, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 3-1 away win over Napoli in their last league game, Fiorentina will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. They came away from that fixture with 46% of the possession and clocked up 12 attempts on goal with 3 on target. By comparison, Napoli managed 16 attempts on goal, with 4 on target.
Their boss Vincenzo Italiano has every reason to be happy with his side's attacking prowess of late, which has seen them net 12 goals in their last 6 matches; however, they may have some work to do in defence with 8 goals conceded across those matches. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games.
They have been performing well at Stadio Artemio Franchi recently and are unbeaten in their last 11 home games.
Goalscorer Nicólas González will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 4 goals in his last 6 league matches for Fiorentina.
Empoli, Recent FormEmpoli will not be too disappointed to take a point from their 0-0 result against Udinese last time out. Their share of possession in that meeting was 59%, while racking up 18 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target. Udinese had 11 shots on goal with 1 on target.
The last 6 games have been a mixed bag for them and the 4 points they have picked up belies their poor defending and unremarkable goal scoring of late, having only managed 1 goal whilst conceding 13 at the other end. They have failed to score in 5 of their last 6 games.
An away win for Empoli is just a distant memory, having not won on the road in 12 games.
In the previous encounter between these sides, both teams grabbed goals, with the match finishing in a 1-1 draw.
Fiorentina have scored in each of their last 11 games at home in the league against Azzurri.
The last 2 league meetings between these teams have ended in a draw, but Fiorentina may still feel they have the upper hand, given they have not lost any of their last 3 league encounters with Empoli.
Fiorentina manager Vincenzo Italiano has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Gaetano Castrovilli (Knee), Domilson Dodô (Cruciate ligament), Yerry Mina (Thigh) and Niccolò Pierozzi (Physical discomfort) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Aurelio Andreazzoli has a number of injury concerns in his Empoli squad to contend with: Bartosz Bereszyński (Muscle), Daniel Maldini (Muscle) and Giuseppe Pezzella (Back)
