Empoli v Genoa Preview and Prediction

Date/Time: Monday 28^th January 2018 (Kick-off 7:30 PM)

On Monday night, Empoli host Genoa at the Stadio Carlo Castellani, as the home side look to move away from the Serie A relegation zone.

Empoli are currently just three points above the relegation zone in the Italian top-flight after a poor run of form. Genoa are just three points better off than the home side, so they cannot afford to slip up in this clash.

Empoli are currently in their perilous position due to a run of five league games without a victory. A 2-2 draw at Cagliari last time out ended a four-game losing run for the home side in Serie A.

Keeping the opposition out has been a major problem for Empoli of late in the Italian top-flight, as they have conceded at least two goals in six of their eight league matches.

Top Football Bookmakers

Genoa head into this potentially important clash on a run of just one win in their last 14 games in Serie A. Last time out the visitors suffered a 2-0 home defeat against AC Milan. The game saw them fail to score for a third straight league match.

Genoa have won just one of their last 15 away games in Serie A and have lost their last five matches on their travels.

Prediction

Home win and/or under 2.5 goals
