Empoli take on the visitors Torino in the round 23 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Sunday, February 5th at Stadio Carlo Castellani (Empoli).
First match in 2017 showed that Empoli are set to avoid relegation battle and improve league position. The hosts of the match gained seven point in three games after beating Palermo and Udinese, both 1-0, and drawing 0-0 with Sampdoria. Three clean sheets in a row was already big success for Empoli. So, the defeat in recent match against one of the weakest Serie A sides, Crotone, 1-4, came as quite a surprise. Empoli have 21 point gained in 22 matches and have 13-30 aggregate goals difference. Results of recent four matches make it hard to predict what to expect from the team. We should note that the team recorded three home wins in a row, beating Cagliari, Palermo and Udinese.

Torino can’t be happy with results they show this winter. The Bulls played nine matches since the beginning of December and managed to win only one match, drew three and recorded five defeats. As the results, the team moved down to the middle in the standings of Serie A. The team have 31 points after 21 matches played and occupy 9th position with 39-32 goal difference. The Bulls played 11 matches on the road and gained only nine points, failing to win on the road since the middle of November.
Empoli are undefeated in their recent six head-to-heads with Torino, taking four wins and two draws. We can expect the match to be quite fascinating with numerous chances on both sides. It’s hard to pick a favorite but we should see at least couple of goals combines by the teams.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.0 goals.
