Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Sampdoria will look to keep their survival hopes alive when they face Empoli in Genoa on Monday evening. La Samp are on a three-game losing run, with the team continuing to struggling in front of goal and it is no wonder the odds for away win have been dropping. Defender Bruno Amione is back from suspension, while forward Mehdi Leris remains on the sidelines with a muscle problem. Goalkeeper Emil Audero should recover in time to face the Azzurri.
Meanwhile, Empoli are safe with 11 points clear of the relegation zone. Since the visitors should be happy with one point from Monday’s encounter, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw. Defender Koni De Winter is sidelined with a knee injury, but he should be the only absentee in the away team.
Highlighted Player (Jeison Murillo):

Jeison Murillo is a 24-year-old Colombian defender who plays for Inter Milan in Serie A. The centre back started in the youth teams of Deportivo Cali but made his senior professional bow with Udinese and Granada, as part of the partnership agreement between the clubs.
He moved on a permanent basis to Granada in 2011 but spent most of his time on loans at fellow Spanish league clubs Cadiz and Las Palmas. His talent was there for everyone to see and soon he would end up moving to Inter Milan in 2015. Murillo made his international debut for Colombia in 2014.
He was also a member of the 2015 Copa America squad and scored his solitary goal in national colors against Brazil. He would go on to win the “Best Young Player” of the tournament. Murillo is a hard-tackling no-nonsense centre back and is regarded as a ball-playing defender, which is almost a rarity in world football.
