In the forecast, we assessed the prospects of each team in the upcoming match and selected the most reliable bets. Which choice should you make?
Command Analysis
Empoli
ItalyCurrent form
Before the start of the season, Empoli was considered one of the main candidates for relegation from Serie A, but in the first rounds they showed themselves very powerfully. A high-quality starting segment allowed Roberto D'Aversa team to quickly break away from the danger zone and for a long time the Tuscans were in the top half of the table. However, a number of mistakes in the last matches resulted in a fall to 11th place in the table and Empoli is only five points away from the relegation zone, which cannot be called a serious handicap.
Disqualifications and injuries
Brancolini, Haas, Ebuehi, Zhurkovski, Sazonov, Pellegri, Solbakken, Belarindeli are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Empoli have lost their last two matches
- Empoli have scored in three of their last four matches
Probable line-up: Vazquez - Goglichidze, Ismaili, Cacace - Gyasi, Anjorin, Malech, Pezzella - Esposito, Henderson - Colombo.
Genoa
ItalyCurrent form
Genoa, unlike its current opponent, was not a candidate for relegation from Serie A before the start of the season, and failed in the first rounds. Due to a large number of injured players, as well as frankly weak implementation, Alberto Gilardino quickly lost his job, and Patrick Vieira was appointed in his place. Under the leadership of the new coach, Genoa quickly gained form and moved up the table, but a 1:2 defeat to Napoli in the last round threw the Griffins back to 13th place in the table.
Disqualifications and injuries
Malinovsky, Ahanor and Messias are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Genoa have not won in their last three matches – a defeat and two draws
- Genoa have scored in two of their last three away games
Tentative lineup: Leali - Sabelli, Vazquez, Bani, Martin - Miretti, Badel, Frendrup - Zanoli, Pinamonti, Vitinha.

2.29Tip and bets
In the last round, Empoli looked good against the league leader and managed to score twice against Atalanta, and today the hosts will probably also be as aggressive as possible in front. It is unlikely that Genoa has a real chance of keeping a clean sheet against such an opponent, but at the same time, the Griffins have recently improved and are scoring regularly, so it makes sense to expect an exchange of goals.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. Forecast - both will score . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 2.15
Bet on the outcome
Empoli have looked more than decent at home recently and have suffered only one defeat in their last three home games, and could have counted on points there. Today, the Azzurri will undoubtedly try to snatch all three points and there is definitely a chance of success - although the Griffins have improved recently, the team has plenty of weak points, it makes sense to take a risk and give preference to the Tuscans.
Bet - Asian handicap (0) on Empoli. This bet is offered for 1.69
Bet on corners
Empoli will probably spend a lot of time attacking at home, but Genoa are quite capable of responding, there should be a lot of corners.
Bet - total over 9.5 corners. This bet is offered for 1.89
