Empoli have found the net only seven times in 16 games this season (and four of those were in a single match against Pescara), while the Sardinians conceded a whopping 37 goals.
Guido Marilungo and Levan Mchedlidze step into the starting XI, sending Massimo Maccarone to the bench, while Manuel Pucciarelli is not 100 per cent fit.
Cagliari miss Marco Borriello, Artur Ionita and Nicola Murru, but Diego Farias is ready to start after an injury lay-off behind Marco Sau and Federico Melchiorri.
This fixture has never ended in a stalemate between Serie A and B, as Empoli won nine and lost twice at the Castellani.
