Empoli and Torino meet each other in a clash in the Italian Serie A. It’ll be a well-balanced match. The home team know that they’ll have to put their best foot forward to please their fans, and this will involve them using the wings a lot and bringing some balls into the final third for their striker to play.
Nicolas Haas and Jacopo Fazzini, among others, have been ruled out of this game, but Empoli will still stick to their job of keeping an orderly and well-maintained backline. The Azzurri Empolesi rank 10th on the league table with 19 points.
Empoli like to play in a unique 3-4-2-1 formation in which striker Pellegri operates up front. Pellegri has scored on three occasions in the Serie A this season and has been supported well by central attacking midfielder Esposito. He has four strikes in this campaign and looks set to go for more.
Torino came into this game knowing they can topple their opponents from their league standings if they win and score enough goals. At the moment, Toro are ranked two spots below Empoli, in the 12th spot of the Serie A table, with 16 points to their name.
Torino’s morale and confidence will be at an all-time low after losing their previous five games. They’ll have to deal with it directly and figure out a way to get a positive result for themselves in this match. Manager Paolo Vanoli likes to play with a three-man defence, which could get tricky.
As with most three-man defences, five midfielders are necessary to run the show and bridge the gap between defence and attack. The same will be expected here. A lot of responsibility will fall upon the highly-rated central midfielder Samuele Ricci to win second balls in midfield.
Bet hereWe expect Empoli to either win or draw this game since they have a slight advantage over their opponents. Torino’s recent record is not very good, and we do not anticipate them putting up a big fight against the home team in this encounter. Additionally, they’ve conceded a whopping 20 goals in the Serie A this season.
Empoli, on the other hand, have been unbeaten in four out of their last five matches, which will give them a big morale booster. What works even more in their favour is winning seven out of the nineteen games recorded between these two teams in the past. Torino have only won five, with the rest being draws.
We expect over 1 goal to be scored in this game. This is not anticipated to be a goal fest since not many top-quality strikers are participating.
The last five matches played between these two teams yielded relatively low-scoring results (1-2, 3-2, 1-0, 2-2, 1,1), and we foresee this again. Both Torino and Empoli will be keen on protecting their goal as much as possible, which will naturally curb them from attacking too much.
