Genoa – Empoli : Preview & Prediction
Genoa, in 19th place, will have a hard time saving their skin in Serie A as their eight-point deficit to Cagliari, in 17th place and the first non-relegated team, seems insurmountable with 11 games to go. The future looks bleak for Blessin’s side, who have just one win in Serie A after 27 games. A mediocre record to hope for better! Genoa have been chasing a win in the Italian league for the last 24 games (14 draws and 10 defeats). Destro’s teammates (9 goals) have just drawn five of their last five games, a series that is still ongoing, against Udinese (0-0), Rome (0-0), Salernitana (1-1), Venice (1-1) and Inter Milan (0-0) on 25 February. Empoli, in 13th place, could make a big leap towards survival if they win at Luigi Ferraris, as their nine-point lead over the red zone is still not enough. Empoli would like to win for the first time in 2022. Andreazzoli’s side have not won in 11 games in all competitions, having drawn at Bologna (0-0) and Cagliari (1-1) before losing to Sampdoria (2-0) and Juventus (2-3) on 26 February. Empoli were held to a 2-2 draw in the first leg and could win the second leg.
