GEN vs EMP Dream11 MATCH PREVIEW:
Empoli’s survival chances will face a home test as they host Girona in the Serie A at Stadio Carlo Castellani, in Empoli, Italy, on Sunday night (IST).
Back in the top-flight after spending just one season in Serie B, Empoli would hope to stay in Serie A for a longer period this time around. Though the danger of relegation looms large over them at the moment as only three points separate them from the bottom three going into the next match.
The goals haven’t been the real problem for the hosts in this campaign. Twenty-four goals from the first 20 matches is a decent return considering they got promoted and never really bought a potent goal-scorer.
It’s the backline which has caused Empoli real problems and robbed them of some precious points. With 39 goals conceded in 20 games, their defence ranks third-worst as things stand in Serie A.
Giuseppe Iachini and his men must shore up at the back in the remainder of the season or they can outscore the opponents to win games. The latter though looks a distant reality.
Genova meanwhile couldn’t continue their red hot form which they showed at the start of the season. They are in a complete mess, and everything looks bleak for the visitors. The relegation is a very much upcoming reality, which could expedite after the sale of Krzysztof PiÄ…tek to AC Milan.
The fans and the pundits are looking for the sources which could get Genoa the goals, and unluckily there are not many players out there at Cesare Prandelli’s disposal who could shoulder the burden of finding the back of the net.
Genoa’s win column shows the number five, four of which were recorded in the first six games of the season. So you could see how big and uncanny dip their form has taken into the obscurity. A win can change the mood within the camp and perhaps Empoli could just be brittle enough to succumb under the home pressure.
