Empoli, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 2-1 away defeat by Hellas Verona will have left the Empoli squad feeling a little deflated. They achieved 60% possession in that match and had 14 strikes at goal, with 1 hitting the target, up against Hellas Verona's tally of 11 efforts at goal, 7 of which were on target.
Having scored just 2 goals in their last 6 games, it will be glaringly obvious to their manager Aurelio Andreazzoli where he needs to focus his attentions if they are going to get more points on the table. Hoever, he will still have one eye on his defence which has shipped 9 in the same period. They have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games, and over the course of the season they have failed to score in 7 of their [%HT_Games_Season_Home% games played at Stadio Carlo Castellani.
A win for Empoli is just a distant memory, having not won a single match in 8 games.
Monza, Recent FormMonza manager Raffaelle Palladino will need to rebuild confidence in his squad after their heavy 5-1 home defeat by Inter Milan. They came away from that fixture with a 57% share of the possession and clocked up 9 attempts on goal with 2 on target, in comparison to Inter Milan, who managed 20 attempts on goal, 7 of which were 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 11, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 away games, and over the course of the season they have failed to score in 5 of their 10 games on the road.
They're experiencing a disappointing spell of form, having lost 3 of their last 6 games and picking up only 2 wins.
On an individual basis, Lorenzo Colombo will be looking to cause Empoli some problems having scored 2 goals in Monza's last 6 away games in the league.
In the previous league meeting between these two sides, it was Monza that came out on top with a 2-0 win.
During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league at Stadio Carlo Castellani, I Brianzoli have been unable to break through the Empoli defence and find the back of the net.
Monza has won the last 2 games they've played against Empoli in the league.
Empoli manager Aurelio Andreazzoli has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Simone Bastoni (Thigh), Tyronne Ebuehi (Muscle), Jacopo Fazzini (Eye), Gabriele Guarino (Muscle) and Giuseppe Pezzella (Back) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Despite Gianluca Caprari (Cruciate ligament) being out for the rest of the season Monza manager Raffaelle Palladino will be pleased to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from ahead of this fixture.
