Most recently Empoli FC celebrated an important away win at US Sassuolo. If the next win on Friday evening is successful, the "Gli Azzurri" from Tuscany will initially be level with the sixth in the table in Serie A on points. The surprise team from Empoli does not want to miss that chance at the start of the game.

The last time Empoli FC met their opponents from Genoa on Friday, there was a bitter defeat in their own stadium, when the "Gli Azzurri" rang three times. The Tuscan club can now return the favor at the upcoming home game.

FC Empoli has been commuting between Serie A and Serie B for decades. In the past 10 years, they spent 6 seasons in the second division and 4 seasons in the first division. You have ascended 3 times and descended twice. In the previous year, they made the promotion as a second division champion with ease. Nevertheless, at the end of June, a new coach came with Aurelio Andreazzoli. A step that apparently paid off. The 67-year-old is responsible for Empoli for the third time and has made a solid start to the season with his team.

Empoli - victory or defeat

If the "Azzuri" start, there will be a winner and a loser in the end. Because the Tuscans have not yet drawn a single time in 11 games. 5 wins face 6 losses. The goal difference is negative at 16:21 - especially on the defensive you are not particularly confident. You could only finish 2 games without conceding a goal. The weak home record is worrying, because in the home table they are in last place. 5 of the 6 defeats occurred in their own stadium.

At home, however, Empoli FC only had a meager point yield of three points. This makes Empoli, statistically speaking, the weakest home team in the Italian House of Lords.

Next defensive debacle for Empoli FC?

It is quite possible that at least one goal will be conceded again on Friday evening. It is therefore obvious to make a prediction of "both to score” at Empoli vs. Genoa, especially since both teams have the necessary quality on the offensive to score at least once.

Free soccer tips

The last time the two teams met at the Carlo Castellani they even broke four goals. At that time, however, the guests from Genoa prevailed. In any case, Empoli FC has not won a single competitive game against the "Grifone" from Liguria since October 2015. Since then there have been four defeats and one draw against Friday's opponents from Genoa.

Free soccer tips

If a victory against the Ligurian opponent is successful this time, odds of 2.10 will be paid out for tip 1 at Empoli vs. Genoa. Head coach Aurelio Andreazzoli only has to do without Petar Stojanovic on Friday evening. There are no other failures to complain about with the host from Tuscany.

Expected formation of Empoli:

Vicario - Fiamozzi, Tonelli, Viti, Marchizza - Haas, Stulac, Bandinelli - Henderson; Francesco, Pinamonti

Genoa - statistics & current form

Since the third matchday, Genoa has not won a single match in Serie A. Meanwhile, the "Grifone" has been without a win for eight match days and was stuck in the table cellar a week ago. It was only with the point against Venezia FC that Genoa could leave the red zone. Equal on points with Spezia, who are on one of the three relegation places, the "Rossoblu" is still in danger of relegation.

It is therefore all the more important to score three times before the international break and thus to expand the lead over the relegation places for the time being. The most recent record against the newcomer from Tuscany is particularly encouraging before Friday's game. Most recently, the "Grifone" won three wins in a row against Empoli FC.

If the fourth win in a row beckons, attractive odds for a prediction on an away coup for the Ligurian guests will be paid out at Empoli vs. Genoa. In the foreign country, Genoa CFC is now with a balance of 1-2-3. The "Grifone" has lost two of the last five away games.

Is the knot burst in the handle offensive?

Last week there was an unfortunate draw for Genoa against the promoted team from Venice. Although the "Rossoblu" dominated the home game against their table neighbors for long stretches, it was only enough for a goalless draw after a miserable exploitation of chances. If this is followed up, a point win at the second division champions from Empoli is also obvious.

Free soccer tips

Compared to the starting line-up that played against Venezia FC last week, no changes are likely to be expected at the "Grifone”. Head coach Davide Ballardini still has to do without six players due to injuries. Including Mattia Destro, with six goals the most dangerous player in the ranks of the Red-Blue.

Sirigu - Cambiaso, Biraschi, Vasquez, Criscito - Sturaro, Badelj, Rovella - Galdames - Destro, Caicedo

FC Empoli has so far played an impeccable season as a newcomer and is currently in the safe middle of the table. Completely different from the upcoming opponents - FC Genoa could only win one game of the season and will probably have to get used to the relegation battle. In this duel, the hosts are slightly favorites, so we tend to tip 1, but would hedge this bet as a "draw no bet"

Genoa FC in crisis

FC Genoa has been consistently represented in Serie A for 15 years. During this time, the club was repeatedly involved in relegation battle, but was always able to avert the worst. In the last 3 years you landed in 17th place twice in the table. This rank is also currently held. In 11 games there was only 1 win and 5 draw. They have been waiting for full success for 8 games. Significant: In the attack they still rely on old star Goran Pandev, who still has quality, but has not yet scored a single goal this season. Mattia Destro, who is the top scorer with 6 goals, is better in front of the goal, but is currently out due to injury.

Our prediction for the game

FC Empoli has not yet produced a single draw this season - this already risky tip should therefore be ruled out (even if every series breaks once ...). Both teams usually score a few goals. That is why there are 2 betting markets that are recommended. So we tend to bet "both teams score - yes”. Here the odds are around 1.50. Furthermore, an over bet is necessary, after all there are exactly 3.36 goals per game at Empoli and Genoa - the tip more than 2.5 goals brings a rate of 1.60 - the tip "more than 3.5 goals” a rate of 2.40. A winner's tip on Empoli also makes sense - a "draw no bet” bet makes sense as a safeguard - odds: 1.55

Betting base forecast & Italy Empoli - Genoa Italy tip

Although Genoa missed a home win against Venezia FC last week, the "Grifone" struggled with help from the table cellar. Equal on points with Spezia, who are meanwhile on a relegation zone, the danger of relegation is around Genoa. The Friday game in Tuscany is therefore all the more important and trend-setting.

Free soccer tips

The match against Empoli FC comes in handy for the Ligurian guests. The second division champions are currently the weakest home team in Serie A. So far, the Tuscan club have only received three points in six home games. In addition, the most recent record against Genoa hardly radiates optimism.
