Prediction: 1-0
Empoli
After holding reigning champions Inter to a goalless draw, Genoa will look to keep their survival hopes alive when they host Empoli to Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris on Sunday. The Rossoblu have drawn each of their last five league fixtures, but they need to start winning on a regular basis if they are to avoid relegation to the Italian second tier. All Bani, Criscito, Vanheusden, Maksimovic, Ekuban, Piccoli, and Cambiaso should miss out with injuries for the home team.
The Azzurri, on the other hand, aim to make amends for a 3-2 loss to Juventus. Empoli are safe for now, and seeing that the hosts want this win more than the visitors, we are tempted to put our money on the Rossoblu. Both Haas and Marchizza are out of contention through injuries, while important centre-back Ismajli serves a one-game ban.
