👉 Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Empoli, 19th position with 17 points and a negative goal difference of -21
Genoa, 11th position with 28 points and a negative goal difference of -2
Empoli are running out of time and the dream for salvation is a must. Empoli are in the 19th positionafter the Serie A Week 23 ended with a draw against Genoa on Saturday 3 February 2024 at the Carlo Castellani Stadium in Empoli, Italy. Empoli extend their streak of consecutive useful results to three and rise to 18 points in the standings, temporarily catching both Cagliari and Verona. For Genoa another useful result (the eighth in a row) but also a wasted opportunity from a European perspective. In fact, Genoa reaches 29 points in the standings, but could see its direct opponents extend its lead for a place in the 2024-25 European cups.
In the next round of the championship, Empoli will visit Salernitana during the match scheduled for Friday 9 February 2024. Genoa will instead find their friendly fans at Marassi again, hosting Atalanta in a match that will be played on Sunday 11 February 2024.
✅ Stats before the game. Genoa are unbeaten in eight matches against Empoli in Serie A (4W, 4D), only against Lucchese (14) and Ascoli (10) does Grifone have a longer open streak without defeat in the tournament. Empoli and Genoa have drawn their last three matches in Serie A, the Tuscans have never recorded more draws in a row against a single opponent in the top division. Genoa remained unbeaten in five of the six away matches against Empoli in Serie A (2W, 3D), the only success of the Tuscans at the Castellani against the Ligurians in the tournament dates back to 24 October 2015 (2-0, with Marco Giampaolo in bench). Since the arrival of Davide Nicola, Empoli have collected four points in two matches, only one coach remained unbeaten in all his first three matches at the helm of the Tuscan club in Serie A: Giuseppe Iachini between November and December 2018 (four in that case).Genoa have won two games in a row in Serie A for the first time since the period between January and February 2021, a streak of three consecutive victories with Davide Ballardini on the bench. The Ligurians could also score at least two goals in three consecutive Serie A matches for the first time since April-May 2021.
