Empoli vs Genoa Prediction & Betting tips
Empoli :
That Empoli currently above the relegation line can be found in the Serie A can be called a miracle by law. The formation of Giovanni Matusciello there namely managed to claim the seventeenth place with a pitiful goal production, the position would be just good enough at the end of the day to avoid relegation to Serie B. Empoli produced to date, namely 15 goals in 26 games, a truly dramatic number. Even teams like Crotone (21 goals) and Palermo (22 goals) do a lot better than Empoli, but in one way or another Empoli thus managed to collect more points. The current form is far from impressive. A meager tip (1-1 against Torino) was collected in the last five games and Empoli will now have to adapt not continue to increase the pressure. The current difference with number eighteen Palermo was last week namely geeduceerd to seven points and, therefore, the men of Matusciello are not yet safe haven.
The confrontation with Genoa offers possible outcome, but then there really should be scored. The average of Empoli is as said so far under a goal per match and the hosts can therefore not really afford to collect goals for home crowd. The only bright spot this week is that Matusciello has offered a strong potential. Behind the name of top goalscorer Levan Mchedlidze can put a stripe possible. The Georgian recent games missed and even though his presence Sunday is extremely doubtful.
Probable lineup Empoli
Skorupski, Laurini, Bellusci, Costa, Pasqual, Krunic, Diousse, Croce, El Kaddouri, Pucciarelli, Maccarone
Genoa :
Genoa seemed this season to play fairly early in safe haven and even the fans were hoping for a convincing top ten, but nothing is less true. The formation of Ivan Juric got it last week but did not manage to grab victories and ultimately resulted in the resignation of the Croatian coach. On the shoulders of Andrea Mandorlini now rests the heavy task of Genoa to keep away from the relegation line, but it is anything but an easy mission. The shape of Genoa is truly dramatic at this time. For example, the last victory again on December 15, 2016 dated when Fiorentina 1-0 was defeated, but then Genoa seemed to be simply forgotten how to play football. The last ten games only three points were gleaned, and it should come as no surprise that Genoa is far sunk. The hole seems eleven points to be ample with the bottom three positions to avoid relegation, but then there will be the next few weeks some points to be gleaned.
Mandorlini has to do this week with some injuries, but that will not really affect the game Sunday because these players for some time on the sidelines. The clash with Empoli seem advance the ideal opportunity to finally have got the three points, but Genoa it must deal with the bad form. The last ten away matches yielded namely only two points and therefore there is progression to defeat Empoli own audience.
Probable lineup Genoa
Lamanna, Izzo, Burdisso, Munoz, Lazovic, Hiljemark, Cataldi, Rigoni, Laxalt Simeone, Pinilla
