Empoli vs Genoa: Prediction
With a measly 15 goals, Empoli have the worst attack in the division. If you don’t score, you can’t win, and that has been what has been costing the Azzurri. But Genoa’s last away trip saw them shockingly lose 5-0 to relegation candidates Pescara, and the Grifone failed to beat fellow struggling side Bologna. Both teams are desperate for points, but Genoa haven’t won on the road since October, and having sold some key players in January, things have not gotten easier than them.
This will not likely be the most entertaining of games and could be decided by a solitary goal – whether by luck or individual brilliance.
