Empoli vs Torino Prediction & Match Preview

Torino will be looking to maintain their four-game undefeated run this weekend when they visit Stadio Carlo Castellani – Computer Gross Arena to face relegation-threatened Empoli in the last game of Saturday’s Serie A program.

• Empoli have lost four successive league outings without scoring in the process.
• Torino go into this on the back of subsequent clean-sheet wins over Udinese and Monza.
• Only one of Torino’s last nine league fixtures provided three or more goals.

Il Toro continued their extraordinary defensive rhythm last Saturday. They dispatched Monza 1-0 on the home patch courtesy of Antonio Sanabria’s second-half penalty-kick. Ivan Juric’s men thus backed up the 2-0 road win over Udinese. They are now 9th in the league table, sitting just six points adrift of Atalanta in 6th position.

The story is completely different with Empoli. They dropped into the bottom-three of the league table after a 0-2 defeat at Inter Milan on Monday night. It was the fourth loss on the bounce for Davide Nicola’s men. In their defence, Empoli have faced the likes of AC Milan, Bologna, and Inter Milan in the previous three matches.

• Torino have managed two wins and draws apiece in the previous four encounters with Empoli.
• Il Toro picked up a narrow 1-0 victory in this season’s reverse game in December last year at Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino.
• Empoli suffered just 1 defeat in the previous 14 home clashes with Torino.

Empoli vs Torino Prediction

Empoli are in a much greater need for points but Torino go into this in much higher spirits. The visitors have been very difficult to break down of late. They allowed just one goal in the last four league games despite facing the likes of Fiorentina, Napoli, Udinese, and Monza along the way. They are now up against the worst attacking side in the division.

No top-flight team have scored fewer than Empoli’s 22 goals in 30 games so far in the season. Empoli also failed to find the back of the net in four straight league matches, each of which they’ve lost. We have no other option but to back Torino to win as the main betting option at the 2.25 odds.

Under 2.5 goals bet is an ideal alternative pick at the 1.53 odds. Only one of Torino’s previous nine league matches provided three or more goals. On the other side, seven of Empoli’s last nine Serie A affairs ended with fewer than three goals scored.
