Empoli vs Genoa Prediction & Betting Tips (3 February)

Only 19th in Serie A with 1 point behind 17th place, Empoli is in great danger of relegation this season. After a terrible series of 8 games without a win, 3 draws and 5 defeats, coach Aurelio Andreazzoli, who arrived at the end of September, was dismissed from his position. Under the orders of Davide Nicola, the teammates of striker Cambiaghi have shown their best during the last 2 days. Indeed, they easily won against Monza 3-0 before taking a point at Juventus last weekend 1-1. Back in the elite this season, Genoa made a good impression and finds himself in a very favorable position to avoid descent.

Indeed, the promoted team is currently 11th in Serie A and is 10 points ahead of the first relegated team. Alberto Gilardino's men are showing great confidence, as evidenced by their current series of 7 games without defeat, 3 wins and 4 draws. They won their last two league matches played against Salernitana 1-2 and Lecce 2-1.

The Empoli squad remains reduced this weekend with the withdrawals of the starting striker Caputo (3 goals in SA), the important defender Ebuehi and the potential holder Bastoni. Recruited this winter, attacking midfielder Zurkowski made a remarkable debut with 4 goals scored in his first 3 matches.

Note that this winter, in addition to Zurkowski, the young Georgian defender Goglichidze (19 years old) and the attackers M'Baye Niang (Adana Demirspor) and Cerri (Como) arrived at the club while Baldanzi (Roma), Guarino (Modena ), Daniel Maldini (return from loan to AC Milan) and Ranocchia (return from loan to Juventus) have left.
