Prediction: 1-0
Empoli
Torino will be looking to put an end to their three-game winless run in the Serie A when they host Empoli at their Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino. Il Toro have been struggling in front of goal of late and it has to be noted that they failed to score in three of their last five league fixtures. Walter Mazzarri’s troops aim to regain their place in the top half of the standings and we are positive that they are going to adopt an attack-minded approach in Wednesday’s football game. Empoli experienced all sorts of problems in back-to-back defeats to the likes of Fiorentina and Sampdoria and seeing that the Azzurri often struggle on the road, we predict that the hosts are going to emerge triumphant in the midweek fixture. A man to watch in the home team will be Andrea Belotti, who scored his sixth goal of the season in a 1-1 draw with Sassuolo at the weekend.
