Genoa welcomes crisis-hit Empoli with the ambition to further distance themselves from the relegation zone. The hosts lost narrowly 0-1 to Inter in the previous round, but overall demonstrate stability at their home ground. They are currently on a run of three consecutive home wins and will be looking to continue their good form.
Empoli in a severe slumpThe guests are experiencing serious difficulties and have not won in their last 11 matches, suffering a heavy 0-5 defeat to Atalanta in the previous round. They are among the weakest away teams in the league and have been unsuccessful away from home in their last five visits. Additionally, Empoli has not beaten Genoa since 2015, with the "Grifoni" consistently dominating in direct clashes.
Bet on Genoa to win in both halvesConsidering the heavy crisis with the guests and Genoa's stable performance at home, the hosts appear to be favorites not only for victory but also for control over the match from the very beginning.
