Separated by a single point and in the middle of a four-match losing run each, Empoli and Lecce get into their Serie A matchday in identical fashion.. Ahead of this round, the hosts are 14th in the table with 28 points from 27 matches while the visitors are 15th with 27 points. Empoli went into the international break on the back of a 2-1 loss to Atalanta keeping them winless in the league for eight matches. They have lost their last four in a row and although three of those have come by a single-goal margin, that’s no excuse for the poor performances. Even at home, they have been winless across four matches, drawing and losing two each. It’s their poor scoring record that has been pegging Empoli back as they have scored a paltry 24 goals in the season.

Lecce have been equally poor with the scoring and they have netted only 24 goals as well. While an eight-point cushion with the bottom-three is looking good enough to not worry about relegation, Lecce’s poor recent form is definitely a concern. They have lost their last four league matches in a row, each time without scoring a goal. They have failed to score a goal in ten of their 27 league games this campaign putting questions over their offensive ability. Even on the road, Lecce lost their last two away league games making this a tricky fixture in their season.
