Match Time & Date:
25 September 2025
17:30
Prediction: 2-0
Empoli
Genoa will be aiming to put an end to their four-game winless run when they take on Empoli in the Coppa Italia last 32. The Rossoblu ae desperate to return to winning ways and we predict that they will adopt an attack-minded approach in Thursday’s clash. Both Maxwel Cornet and Jean Onana are sidelined with injuries, while duo Marcandalli – Ekuban is pushing for a start.
The Azzurri, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 4-0 loss to Pescara, and given Genoa’s desire to get back on course, we are tempted to bet on the home side. Both Guarino and Ilie are in line for recalls to the starting XI, whereas the likes of Degli Innocenti, Haas, and Pellegri remain in the treatment room. Empoli boss Guido Pagliuca is likely to stick to the 3-5-2 formation, with Shpendi and Popov up front.
