Prediction: 1-0
Empoli
Buoyed by a thrilling 4-0 win over Lecce in the Coppa Italia, Genoa take on Empoli at their Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris in their first game of the new Serie A campaign. The Rossoblu were not into action at the weekend as their game against Milan was postponed, whereas Empoli recorded a 2-0 win over Cagliari on their return to the Italian top flight. The newcomers are a real force to be reckoned with at home, but they often struggle on the travels, which is the main reason why we are tempted to put our money on Genoa. The Rossoblu have turned their Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris into a real fortress, therefore, we predict that the hosts are going to emerge triumphant in Sunday’s football match. A man to watch in the home team will be summer signing Piatek, who scored four goals in the victory over Lecce.

Highlighted Player (Lisandro Lopez):
Lisandro Lopez is an Argentine defender who joined Portugal giants Benfica in 2013 on a five-year deal from the Argentine side Arsenal de Sarandi. Once considered a huge prospect, Lisandro Lopez was linked with a move to Arsenal, AC Milan and Malaga before his move to Portugal.
The 26-year-old defender however failed to live up to the expectations so far with the Aguias having made only 23 Primeira Liga appearances in three years with the Portugal giants. Lisandro Lopez was initially loaned out to Spanish La Liga side Getafe where he played 27 games during the 2013-14 season.
Brought back on a promise of first-team football, Lopez did not quite manage to establish himself as a first-team regular as he was sparingly used during the previous two seasons in Portugal. The Argentine defender did play some part in Benfica’s European challenges having managed 4 Champions League appearances so far.
