&lt;p&gt;Fiorentina are level on points with Juventus in third and are dreaming of a win over Empoli to move even higher up the ladder. A win for the Viola, on 17 points, would see them register their best-ever start in the three-points-per-win era, having never reached 20 points from their first nine games.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Empoli, on the other hand, have picked up just four points (a win against Salernitana and a draw before the break with Udinese) and currently sit third-bottom. On the three occasions that the Azzurri have taken fewer than seven points from their first nine matches in Serie A TIM (this is provided they lose in Florence, of course), they have always been relegated come the end of the season (2018/19, 2016/17 and 2003/04).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DID YOU KNOW?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Only AC Milan (12) have a longer unbeaten run at home than Fiorentina in Serie A TIM. The Viola haven’t lost any of their last eleven matches at the Franchi (W7, D4), a run that began with a 1-1 draw with Empoli.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Empoli are the only team in the league this season not have scored a second-half goal, though Fiorentina have conceded eight out of eleven goals after the break (73%, the second-highest percentage after Inter’s 80%).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HEAD-TO-HEAD&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fiorentina and Empoli played out two draws in their two league meetings last season (0-0 at the Castellani and 1-1 at the Franchi). They have only drawn three straight in Serie A on one occasion: in the period between 1987 and 1988 (one 1-1 and two 0-0).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Empoli have just twice in 13 games against the Viola in Florence (D5, L6). The Azzurri’s most recent victory at the Franchi was on 15 April 2017 when Giovanni Martusciello’s side won 2-1 (the goals that day were scored by El Kaddouri, Tello and Pasqual from the spot).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PLAYERS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Since the start of June to today, only Lautaro Martinez (10) and Victor Osimhen (7) have scored more Serie A goals than Nicolás Gonzélez (6 in just 8 appearances). The Argentine only played 485 minutes of football in the league in that period and has the second-best goals-per-minute average in the top flight in that timeframe (one every 81 minutes, behind only Lautaro in the list of players with at least 200 minutes to their name in that time).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Giacomo Bonaventura – 60 goals and 39 assists – is close to reaching 100 goal involvements in the top flight of Italian football. He has a career record of one goal and two assists in nine appearances with Empoli, though none in a Fiorentina shirt.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Francesco Caputo is one of four forwards (alongside Thauvin, Ndoye and Dany Mota) with at least 400 minutes played in Serie A TIM this season but no goals or assists. Fiorentina are the side against which Caputo has played the most top-flight matches (10) without scoring.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DISCIPLINE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Suspended: none&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cautioned: Maleh (Empoli)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;REFEREES&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dionisi (Del Giovane &amp;amp; Politi) IV: Massimi, VAR: Paterna, AVAR: Manganiello&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;UPCOMING MATCHES IN SERIE A TIM&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lazio vs Fiorentina (Monday 30 October, 20:45)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Empoli vs Atalanta (Monday 30 October, 18:30)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Photo Getty Images)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
