Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Stadio Olimpico di Torino will host Sunday’s Serie A game between Torino and Empoli, the two teams who were beaten by Napoli and Milan respectively at the weekend. Il Toro are now on a three-game losing run, meaning that they are desperate to grab something from the match. Both Pietro Pellegri and Mergim Vojvoda remain on the sidelines with injuries, while Samuele Ricci is a major doubt.
The Azzurri, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in the 3-1 loss to the Rossoneri. Empoli aim to escape the danger zone, but beating Torino on the road is easier said than done. A close encounter is on the horizon at Stadio Olimpico di Torino, and we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw. All Alberto Grassi, Daniel Akpa, and Ardian Ismajli are out of contention with injuries for the visiting side.
