Empoli, Recent FormAn important point secured against Juventus will have left Empoli quite happy with their 1-1 draw. In that game they had 61% possession and managed 16 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Juventus who had 9 attempts and 3 on target.
Manager Davide Nicola 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 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.
They've had a terrible run of form at Stadio Carlo Castellani recently and having lost 4 of their last 6 home games managing just 1 win. If they want to get anywhere this season, they'll need to do something very quickly to fix their home form, having lost 7 of the first 11 league games at Stadio Carlo Castellani.
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.
Genoa, Recent FormGenoa will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 2-1 win in their home outing against Lecce. Their share of possession in that meeting was 49%, while racking up 19 shots along the way, 7 of which were on target. Lecce had 19 shots on goal with 5 on target.
Manager Alberto Gilardino will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 8 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 5 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but playing away from home, they have conceded a goal in 10 of their 11 games this season.
They have been performing well recently, both home and away, and remain unbeaten in their last 7 games.
On an individual basis, Albert Guðmundsson will be looking to cause Empoli some problems having scored 4 goals in Genoa's last 6 away games in the league.
Despite both teams hitting the net in their previous encounter, the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
Playing at home in the league, Empoli have conceded at least one goal in each of their last 3 matches against Il Grifone. We've seen plenty of goals from Genoa when they've visited Azzurri in the league, in their last 3 games they've scored a total of 7 goals, which is an average of 2.33 per game.
The last 3 league meetings between these teams have ended in a draw, but Empoli may still feel they have the upper hand, given they have not lost any of their last 3 league encounters with Genoa.
Empoli manager Davide Nicola has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Simone Bastoni (Thigh), Francesco Caputo (Ankle), Mattia Destro (Muscle), Tyronne Ebuehi (Muscle) and Gabriele Guarino (Muscle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Alberto Gilardino has a number of injury concerns in his Genoa squad to contend with: Ridgeciano Haps (Knee), Aarón Martín (Muscle) and Junior Messias (Muscle)
