- Competition: Serie A
- Date: 02.12.2023
- Kickoff: 14:00 UK / 15:00 CET
- Venue: Stadio Luigi Ferraris (Genoa)
Last season, Genoa secured a swift return to Serie A, and their primary objective this season is to comfortably ensure their survival in the top tier. It’s a challenging task, but there are signs of optimism. After playing 13 rounds, they currently stand in the 14th position on the table with 14 points, 4 points clear of the relegation zone. They have won several crucial matches against direct rivals in the battle for survival, with their victories over both Rome clubs being the standout moments of the season so far. However, despite an impressive display in the last round, they suffered a 2:1 defeat on the road to Frosinone. Frosinone’s substitute player, Ilario Monterisi, delivered a crushing blow with a last-minute goal.
Empoli’s season got off to a challenging start, putting them in the current precarious position in the danger zone. Their standing as the team with the weakest attack in the league is far from praiseworthy. The recent home defeat to Sassulo has intensified the club’s crisis. While neutral spectators found the game thrilling with a total of seven goals scored, it was a highly stressful and disheartening match for Empoli supporters.
Genoa vs Empoli pick: UNDER 2.5 GOALS
Considering the direct rivalry these clubs have in their struggle for survival, the significance and value of this match is twofold. Genoa is the favorite, primarily due to the home advantage, but the pressure will be intense. Empoli’s offense has been weak this season, so their strategy will likely hinge on a strong defense and counterattacks. The visiting team will not shy away from thwarting any potential attacks and disrupting the rhythm of the home team’s game. We foresee a game filled with aggressive play, yellow cards, and interruptions, much like the previous encounter between these teams which ended in a goalless draw and saw the referee issue as many as eight yellow cards.
