Empoli vs Genoa

Current streaks

Recent form

Empoli

Empoli's recent form has been mixed, with the club currently sitting in 11th position in Serie A. The Azzurri have struggled to find consistency, winning just once in their last six matches across all competitions. Their defensive frailties are evident, having conceded in each of their last seven games and shipping an average of 1.83 goals per game in their recent run. However, Empoli have shown some attacking prowess, particularly in their impressive 4-1 away victory against Hellas Verona. The team's matches have tended to be high-scoring affairs, with 67% of their recent games seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams finding the net in two-thirds of these encounters. Despite their inconsistent results, Empoli have managed to maintain a mid-table position, suggesting they have the potential to climb higher if they can tighten up their defence and capitalise on their goal-scoring capabilities.

Genoa

Genoa have shown a resilient form in their recent fixtures, with a notable trend of draws dominating their results. The Rossoblu have managed to secure four draws in their last six matches, demonstrating their ability to avoid defeat but struggling to secure victories. Their defensive prowess is evident, having kept three clean sheets in this period and conceding less than a goal per game on average. However, their attacking output has been modest, scoring only six goals across these six matches. Interestingly, half of their recent games have seen both teams score, while two-thirds of the matches have featured under 2.5 goals, suggesting a tendency towards tighter, low-scoring affairs. Despite their current 13th position in Serie A, Genoa's recent form indicates they are a tough team to beat, even if they're finding it challenging to convert draws into wins.

Recent home/away form

Empoli

Empoli have struggled for form at home in recent matches, winning just once in their last six games at the Stadio Carlo Castellani. Their goal-scoring woes are particularly evident, with the team netting only twice in this period, resulting in a meagre average of 0.33 goals per game. Despite their offensive struggles, Empoli have shown some defensive resilience, keeping two clean sheets and conceding an average of one goal per match. The majority of their home fixtures have been low-scoring affairs, with 83% of games seeing fewer than 2.5 goals. Notably, Empoli have failed to score in four of their last six home matches, including a run of three consecutive games without finding the back of the net. While they've managed to secure two draws during this period, their inability to convert chances has contributed to their current 11th position in Serie A.

Genoa

Genoa's recent away form has been a mixed bag, with a notable improvement in their last three fixtures. After a concerning run of three consecutive losses, including a high-scoring 5-1 defeat to Atalanta, the Rossoblu have shown resilience by securing two wins and a draw in their latest away matches. The team have demonstrated an improved defensive performance, keeping three clean sheets in their last six away games, which is particularly impressive considering they conceded 10 goals during this period. Despite their low-scoring average of 0.67 goals per game, Genoa have managed to grind out results, with 67% of their away matches featuring under 2.5 goals. This suggests a more cautious and defensively-oriented approach on the road, which has helped them climb to 13th in the Serie A table.
