Torino vs Empoli: prediction for the Serie A fixture
The Bulls won the last three home games, but can they extend this streak and defeat Empoli on Thursday, December 2? Our answer is in the prediction below.
Command Analysis
Torino
ItalyTorino clearly hoped to compete for the European football this season. They bought several new players and invited Ivan Juric to the position of head coach. However, their start to the season was not very successful.
Torino are currently in 13th place in the table with 17 points, seven points ahead of the relegation zone. At the same time, the Bulls are seven points behind the European club competition zone and have very serious competitors for the Top-6 finish, such as Lazio and Juventus, for example.
In the last round, Torino lost 0:1 to Roma, having suffered their fourth away defeat in a row.
Empoli
ItalyEmpolididn't have any ambitious goals for this season. Aurelio Andreazzoli's main objective is to avoid relegation, and so far so good: Empoli are 11th in the standings with 19 points in the asset.
The Tuscans might even join the fight for the European football if they stay in good form. Currently they are losing 5 points to the 6th Fiorentina. In the last round, the Violets lost to Empoli - they were in the lead until the 87th minute, when the Blues mounted a sudden comeback (2:1). Filippo Bandinelli and Andrea Pinamonti scored the winning goals and brought their team the long-awaited three points.

Tip and bets
Torino are terrible away from home, and this is the main reason they haven't joined the competition for the European football yet. But in Turin the Bulls have been excellent, and they won the last three home games. Torino are more experienced and have superior quality, so the visitors are unlikely to get points here.
Our prediction - Torino to win
Torino are the favourites to win, but Empoli are dangerous on counterattacks and will definitely play on the hosts' nerves. Moreover, the main star of the Bulls, Andrea Belotti is out injured. We don't think Torino will be able to win by a large margin.
Second bet - Torino to win by 1 goal
