Torino vs Empoli Predictions

• Empoli have drawn back-to-back matches in Serie A
• Torino have racked up five stalemates in the league this term
• Both teams have scored in four of Empoli’s last five assignments

Torino locked in mid-table obscurity

Torino have been the embodiment of mediocrity in Serie A this season, stationed in mid-table with five wins, five draws and five defeats from their 15 league games.

They are comfortably clear of the relegation zone but they have a lot of work to do if they are to push for the European positions with five points separating them from the top five heading into the weekend.

But on Saturday their opponents Empoli are fighting for their lives in 18th spot and they are a worthwhile bet to pick up a point at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino.

Empoli have drawn each of their last two games against Genoa and Lecce, while their three games before that with Frosinone, Napoli and Sassuolo were all settled by one-goal margins.

Stalemate on the cards in Turin

Torino also shared the spoils last time out, drawing 0-0 with Frosinone, and that looks the best bet in the match result market with Empoli having recorded 13 stalemates in the top flight last season – two of which came in matches with Torino.

There should still be goals in this one, though, with both teams scoring in four of Empoli’s last five fixtures.

With that in mind, punters should look at the 1-1 draw in the correct score market – which clicked in Empoli’s last two fixtures.
