But it\u2019s been a poor recent run for Atalanta who, following Saturday\u2019s 2-0 defeat at Napoli, are now winless in four successive Serie A outings (D1, L3).

Empoli have shut them out in three of their last four H2Hs at this venue (W1, D2, L1), though it should be noted that Gian Piero Gasperini\u2019s men have netted at least once in all of their nine matches against teams starting this round 14th or below, thus not enthusing them about their arrival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
