Empoli will aim to steer clear of Serie A's relegation zone on Monday evening when they host Atalanta BC at Stadio Carlo Castellani.
After a sluggish start, Empoli have seen an upturn in form recently, claiming seven points from their last four matches, keeping three clean sheets. The hosts produced an upset in another Monday night fixture last time out, beating in-form Tuscan rivals Fiorentina 2-0 with goals from Francesco Caputo and Emmanuel Gyasi either side of the break.
Atalanta, meanwhile, also got back to winning ways in their first game back since the international break, comfortably beating Genoa 2-0 at home last week. With 16 points from 9 games, La Dea currently sit sixth in the Serie A table, and will look to break into top six with a positive result here.
