Torino vs Empoli Prediction & Betting Tips (16 December)

By welcoming the relegated Empoli, 18th, Torino, 11th, has the possibility of joining the first half of the ranking in the event of a victory. Toro has just taken 11 points out of the 18 distributed, conceding only 1 defeat in the last 6 days at Bologna 2-0 at the end of November. The large victory over Atalanta Bergamo 3-0 at home and the draw at Frosinone 0-0 obtained during the last two days of Serie A allow the Turin club to prepare well for the next two matches which will be played at home against Empoli and against Udinese, two teams ranked 18th and 17th. Torino has the possibility of taking 6 points and making a big jump in the standings.

Empoli, for its part, suffered 3 defeats in the last 6 days against Atalanta Bergamo 0-3, at Frosinone 2-1 and against Sassuolo 3-4 to win only 1 time, but what a feat, on the Naples field 0-1 on November 12. In failure during the last three days of Serie A with 1 setback against Sassuolo and 2 draws in a row on the lawn of Genoa 1-1 and against Lecce 1-1, Empoli could continue its bad patch at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino including the last victory in Turin dates back to January 10, 2016.

Torino have played four matches since securing their place in the Serie A, with no fewer than three of these encounters producing a clean sheet at one end of the pitch. This has also been the case in seven of the previous nine top-flight fixtures involving Empoli, so any deviation from this script would come as a bit of a surprise.
