Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Empoli will be aiming to make amends for back-to-back losses to Torino and Atalanta when they take on Genoa in the Serie A round 18. The Azzurri are eager to finish 2024 in style, but Saturday’s game will be anything but a walk in the park for the hosts. Mattia de Sciglio is back from suspension, while all Nicolas Haas, Szymon Zurkowski, and Tyronne Ebuehi continue to miss out with injuries.
The Rossoblu, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 2-1 loss to Napoli. Genoa and Empoli seem to be evenly matched at the moment and, taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. The likes of Koni De Winter, Junior Messias, and Ruslan Malinovsky are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team. In their last encounter in the Italian top flight, the two sides played out a goalless draw.
