Empoli hope to avoid slipping into the bottom three at the end of round 15's Serie A action when they welcome Lecce to Stadio Carlo Castellani on Monday.
The 17th-placed side have picked up one point from their last two games, but their opponents have not fared better, securing two from as many fixtures.
While every victory the Azzurri have nicked this term has come since Aurelio Andreazzoli replaced Paolo Zanetti at the club in September, those three victories still see them flirting with relegation.
Stunning wins at Fiorentina and beleaguered Napoli have been secured, but Empoli have not matched the same performance level against other sides, strikingly losing 2-1 to Frosinone and 4-3 to Sassuolo.
Last weekend's 1-1 draw with Genoa was encouraging, as Andreazzoli's men fought back from Ruslan Malinovskyi's first-half strike to level through Matteo Cancellieri after the interlude.
