Prediction: 1-1
Torino
Empoli and Torino take on each other at Stadio Carlo Castellani in what is expected to be a close Serie A round 16 opener. The Azzurri aim to build on a thrilling 4-1 win over Verona and they are likely to adopt yet another attack-minded approach against Torino. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Sebastiano Esposito, who scored a brace in the last league match, while all Haas, Pellegri, De Sciglio, and Fazzini remain in the recovery room. The likes of Sazonov, Ebuehi, Brancolini, and Zurkowski are rated doubtful for the match.
Il Toro, on the other hand, are not enjoying a season to remember, with the team failing to win the previous six league matches. However, the share of spoils is on the horizon as Empoli head into Friday’s clash with a severely-weakened squad. The likes of Schuurs, Ilkhan, and Zapata are sidelined with injuries for the away team.
