Empoli vs Genoa tips and predictions

Tenacity may be key for Genoa

Genoa have plenty of reasons to think they can win. There's absolutely nothing wrong with backing them at this price. The following preview identifies the main metrics in order to explain the best value selection; an away win. It's difficult to see anything but an open contest here.

This is far from a foregone conclusion. The feeling is that the hosts could be worth opposing. Empoli have been up and down. They've lost 5 of their last 6 games at home. To compound their problems, legitimate scoring chances are looking noticeable by their absence. They've scored one or less goals in 5 of their last 6 home matches which probably won't get the job done here. They'll also need to shore up their defence promptly. They have conceded two or more goals in all of their last 7 home matches. It remains to be seen if they can plug those gaps in time.

Genoa are frequently showing what they can do. If this group of away players are on form they should prevail. They've scored two or more goals in 11 of their last 19 games.

Most observers believe that both sides can score as they can both be dangerous in possession. However, the odds-against for the BTTS No is slightly more attractive.

Genoa have won all of the last 3 games between these two.
