✅ Stats before the game.
Genoa has not lost to Empoli in their last 10 Serie A encounters, boasting 5 wins and 5 draws. The last time Empoli triumphed over the Grifone in the top division was on October 24, 2015, when they won 2-0 at the Castellani.
On the other hand, Empoli has only managed to secure 1 victory in their 7 away games against Genoa in Serie A, with a record of 4 draws and 2 losses. Their sole win came on April 27, 2008, when Ignazio Abate scored under the management of Luigi Cagni.
Recently, Genoa has been impressive at home, winning their last three league matches at the Ferraris without allowing any goals. The last time they achieved four consecutive home victories in Serie A was between February and April 2016, when they won five times under Gasperini. If they manage to win four home games in a row without conceding again, it will mark the third time in their Serie A history, following their streaks in May-September 1991 and December 1939-February 1940.
