Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

We predict there's very little chance of a bore-draw or a narrow 1-0 win here, and instead we're predicting over 1.5 goals. That means that Genoa and Empoli will score a minimum of 2 between them during 90 minutes. This is based on form stats for each side, as well as historical records when they go head-to-head. We give it a probability of 77%. Bookmakers have it at 1.40.

Goal Statistics

Genoa's fans will be hoping for goals on Sunday afternoon, not least because Empoli have conceded in each of their last 15 Serie A games. A PG of 1.6 for Patrick Vieira's side suggests that run should continue.

Goals have been a problem for Empoli of late. It has been 9 Serie A games since they last scored more than 1, and a PG of 1.1 suggests they'll struggle to end that run on Sunday afternoon against Genoa.
