Empoli - Genoa predictions

The visitors are aware of the challenge that awaits them. To come out on top against Empoli on their own field would be a major achievement, and it is always a tough task.

The visiting team knows that beating Empoli on their own turf will be a major accomplishment, and it is always a formidable challenge.

Empoli will head into the Saturday clash on a big wave of confidence following their Juventus away draw. They return home after keeping it level both at the halftime mark and after the final whistle despite being made overwhelming underdogs in their last game.

Genoa’s performance in the first half against Lecce was disheartening, considering they entered the field as slight favourites. However, they equalized in the last 45-minutes and proceeded to snag a narrow, but well-earned 2:1 away win.

Empoli are sitting in the relegation zone at the moment, 17 points below the red line and it’s fair to say this Serie A season is turning into a major disappointment for the Empoli fans. With Genoa coming to Stadio Carlo Castellani this Saturday, you should be aware that online bookmakers is offering 3.06 on the hosts.

Looking at the head-to-head stats between these two squads, we see a tied game from an earlier round. This was a missed opportunity for Empoli, who should have had an easy time earning 3 points in a home game. They’re still the favourites, but their chances of winning the game are smaller than they were in that previous bout.

These teams are relatively close in terms of form, so our suggestion is to go for a Draw result. However, lengthening the odds with a Draw/Draw HT/FT bet is an even better option. It pushes the odds to 3.03 while the risks remain largely the same.
