Empoli hosts Genoa in round 12 of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Friday, November 5th at Stadio Carlo Castellani (Empoli)
Empoli returned to Serie A once again. And, of course, the management sees the preservation of a place in the elite as the goal for the season. It is noteworthy that the coach who achieved the promotion from Serie B has already left the project. In the summer, Dionisi headed the stronger Sassuolo. But in the person of experienced Andreazzoli, the Blues got a mentor who provides them with consistently good results. The irony is that in the last round Empoli managed to beat just the Black and Greens who are headed by his predecessor. And the Blues did it away thanks to a powerful ending — they scored in the 83rd and 92nd minute and gained a comeback victory. And it was the 2nd win in the last three rounds. It is noteworthy that Empoli plays uncompromisingly: five victories (including over Juventus) and six defeats. That's enough to be in a higher part of the standings. Moreover, there are only three points to the European Cup zone.

Genoa has seriously lost ground. If the Griffins ended the previous season in a comfortable 11th place, now there is a real prospect of relegation to Serie B. Almost a third of the championship is behind, and Genoa gained only one victory over Cagliari, which was beaten back in the first half of September. Since then, there has been no similar success in eight matches in a row. Yes, the Griffins manage to gain draws. But they definitely expected more from the last games against Spezia (1-1 away) and Venezia (0-0 at home). It's time to wake up because most of the competitors have already overtaken the Genoese. Having eight points in the assets, they are ranked 17th and are ahead of Spezia only in additional indicators. And Cagliari, which is the worst team in Calcio at the moment, is only two points behind. The eccentric Preziosi would have fired Ballardini long ago, but he sold the club to new owners. How much longer will they tolerate such results?
Bookmakers rightfully give the advantage to Empoli, which plays more confidently this season. Moreover, it looks very powerful at its native stadium. Still, we will insure ourselves by betting on the hosts to win with a zero handicap.
Prediction for the match: Empoli to win with 0.0 handicap
