Genoa will be looking to end and eight-game winless run when they travel to Carlo Castellani Stadium to face each other with Empoli in a Serie A showdown. Kickoff to this fascinating fixture schedules for 5th November 2021 at 22:45.
Empoli has been on an average form this season which sees them in the 11th place with 15 points after 11 league matches. The home side prepares for this match following 1-2 Serie A victory against Sassuolo and they will be looking to get the same results playing against low ranked Genoa.
It is one of the struggling times for Genoa who is placed right above the relegation zone in the 17th place with eight points after 11 matches they’ve played in the league. They are coming off 0-0 Serie A draw with the newly promoted Venezia and they will be hoping to get even better results here.
We vote for draw in this game as Genoa has an impressive record against Empoli and they have been playing out a lot of stalemates in recent meetings. The visitors are unbeaten in their last five games against Empoli and have drawn four of their last five league games heading into this clash. Empoli has only won one of their five home games so far this season and seem to play their best football away.
