Bookmaker Ratings prediction two: Genoa 0 Goals Handicap – 1.79
Bookmaker Ratings prediction three: Under 1.5 Total Genoa Goals – 1.62
Genoa Win or Draw and Under 3.5 Goals
Genoa are undefeated in five games with all of them ending in draws. Also, the Rossoblu did not lose to Empoli in six meetings. Moreover, seven of Genoa’s last eight games saw fewer than three goals.
Genoa 0 Goals Handicap
There is a 46% chance for a draw in this match according to the stats. To Justify, Genoa were able to end their last five games in a stalemate even against tough oppositions like Inter and Roma. Hence, we think the Rossoblu are capable of covering the 0 handicap.
Under 1.5 Total Genoa Goals:
Playing at home Genoa have an average of 0.69 goals per game. Moreover, the Rossoblu scored just once in all of their last five outings at the Luigi Ferraris. Hence we predict Genoa to score under 1.5 goals.

Preliminary review and match prediction for Genoa vs Empoli
The king of draws should be Genoa’s nickname this season. To point out, the Rossoblu drew 14 of their 27 fixtures so far in the Serie A this term. Despite the fact that Genoa are not losing but they find themselves in a very dangerous position threatened to be relegated.
Moreover, this is Genoa’s worst season in the last 12 years. With just one win and three managers, the Rossoblu can’t seem to find a victory that would give them some hope. Since the third week of this campaign the Rossoblu have not won a league game.
With 17 points, Genoa are eight points behind the safety zone and need to win at least 6 of their remaining 11 games to have a chance of surviving.
Serie B champions Empoli on the other side look quite secure at the 13th position and nine points above the relegation zone with 31. However, coach Andreazzoli knows they can’t back down since anything is possible until the end of the season which is in its critical stages.
Empoli themselves are winless in ten fixtures drawing five and losing five in the process. In addition, the Blues have the second-worst defense in the league with an average of almost two goals per game. Obviously, coach Blessin needs to work on that department before Sunday’s game.
Genoa vs Empoli Prediction
It’s true that Alexander Blessin has not lost a match with Genoa since taking charge of the team. However, all five draws under the German’s management are not helping the Rossoblus to escape the fear of relegation.
As a result, Genoa need a win desperately and probably they can find it against Empoli who seem to have gone a gear down. Still, to be on the safe side we prefer to back a double chance of a home win or draw combined with under 3.5 goals.
Safe Bet
The second half of Genoa’s last five games saw zero or one goal. Also, in Empoli’s three of their last four games there were the same number of goals in the second half. Consequently backing 0-1 goals in the second half of this match, looks to be a safe bet with odds of 1.76.
Quick Rich
If Alexander Blessin decides to go for a win and eventually he will, we might see this match go in any direction. Thus, we can back the double chance of home or away win combined with under 2.5 goals which has odds of 3.25.
Genoa vs Empoli First Goalscorer
Mattia Destro is Genoa’s top scorer with nine goals in Serie A this season. Notably, the 30-year-old is the most experienced attacker in his team having played with Roma and Milan in the past. We will back Destro to be the first scorer on Sunday.
