Our prediction for the match Empoli vs Torino
Last season, “the Blues” managed to realize their goal. They won the fight for survival. It continued literally until the last round. The team collected 37 points, which was exactly enough to take 17th place (as a result, Frosinone with 36 points returned to the Serie B). As for “the Garnets”, 2023/2024 brought the already familiar result under the leadership of Jurić – the team appeared above the middle of the table, but without a real chance to fight for the European competition (53 points and 9th place).
Vanoli took over as coach in Turin in the summer. The specialist, who was lured from Venice, which he had raised to the Serie A, had a great start, with a cup victory and a five-match unbeaten streak in the championship. Still, it was the match with Empoli, which was lost in the cup tournament and ruined everything. Then the ambitious club lost the lion’s share of the games. And there was only a 0-0 draw in the struggle with Genoa in the previous round. The new coach of “the Azzurri”, D'Aversa, started with 8 matches without defeat. Still, his footballers gradually forgot how to win in the autumn – they coped only with Como. Nevertheless, last week was excellent. First, Fiorentina was beaten in the cup confrontation on penalties. And then the club crushed Verona – 4-1.
The hosts are very pragmatic. They concede a goal per match, although they score 0.7 goals. “The Bulls” are more dangerous in attack, hitting the opponent’s goal more than a 1 time per match. Still, the team also concedes almost one and a half goals per meeting.
