Empoli vs Genoa Prediction and Betting Tips | December 28, 2024 

Empoli host Genoa at the Carlo Castellani on Saturday in Serie A. The hosts are 11th in the league table with 19 points from 17 matches.

They lost 3-2 to title-chasing Atalanta in their last match, with goals from Lorenzo Colombo and Sebastiano Esposito in either half unable to secure the points against the league leaders.

Genoa, meanwhile, have a mixed start to life under new boss Patrick Vieira, losing 2-1 by Antonio Conte's Napoli last weekend. They found themselves two goals down at the break before Sassuolo loanee Andrea Pinamonti halved the deficit early in the second half.

The visitors are two places and three points behind Empoli in the standings.
