He has scored five goals in 23 appearances in Serie A this season and he has never netted more in a single season in the top-flight (also five goals in 33 matches for Lecce in 2022/23).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tijjani Reijnders – who scored the only brace of his Serie A and Eredivisie career against Empoli in the reverse fixture in November – is the top scoring midfielder in Serie A this season (7 goals).

During his time at Feyenoord (since 2022/23), the forward scored 65 goals in 105 appearances across all competitions with only Luuk de Jong netting more for an Eredivisie club in that period (70 goals in 115 matches for PSV).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DISCIPLINE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Suspended: Maleh (Empoli)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cautioned: Cacace, Gyasi (Empoli)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;REFEREE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;PAIRETTO (ROSSI L. – YOSHIKAWA) IV: COLLU, VAR: SERRA, AVAR: CHIFFI&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;UPCOMING MATCHES IN SERIE A&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Udinese-Empoli (Sunday 16 February, 15:00 CET)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Milan-Hellas Verona (Saturday 15 February, 20:45 CET)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Photo Getty Images)&lt;/p&gt;
