Genoa will be facing visiting team Empoli at Stadio Luigi Ferraris in their Serie A clash on Sunday. Let’s check on the predicted line ups and player availability.
Genoa won’t want a repeat of their last result here after a 1-0 Serie A loss in their previous game against Inter Milan. We are thinking that Il Grifone look set to kick off with a 4-2-3-1 formation for this one, utilising Nicola Leali, Koni De Winter, Mattia Bani, Johan Vasquez, Aaron Caricol, Morten Frendrup, Patrizio Masini, Alessandro Zanoli, Junior Messias, Fabio Miretti and Andrea Pinamonti.
Mario Balotelli, Morten Thorsby, Vitinha and Honest Ahanor won’t be available for Genoa gaffer Patrick Vieira.
Possible Genoa team vs Empoli
In their last game, Empoli drew 1-1 in the Coppa Italia tie with Juventus. There’s a good chance that Azzurri seem most likely to begin the game with a 4-4-2 system with a starting lineup of Marco Silvestri, Saba Goglichidze, Ardian Ismajli, Liberato Cacace, Alberto Grassi, E. Quartsin Gyasi, Liam Henderson, Youssef Maleh, Giuseppe Pezzella, Lorenzo Colombo and Sebastiano Esposito.
Empoli boss Roberto D'Aversa has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Nicolas Haas (Cruciate ligament injury), Szymon Żurkowski (Knee problems), Tino Anjorin (Thigh problems), Ardian Ismajli (unknown injury), Mattia Viti (unknown injury), Jacopo Fazzini (Muscle injury), Ola Solbakken (Shoulder injury), Saba Sazonov (Cruciate ligament surgery) and Pietro Pellegri (Cruciate ligament tear) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.
