Although of enormous prestige, Empoli's success in the Coppa Italia against Juventus, which earned them qualification for the semi-final, has so far remained isolated and has not found subsequent confirmation. Against Roma, another defeat has arrived that complicates the situation of D'Aversa's boys, now third from bottom and awaiting a difficult away match, in Turin against a Toro who are generally on the rise and who would only have the danger of continuing a championship without much motivation, a danger however averted by seeing the latest appearances of the Granata. Before the good draw in Parma, Paolo Vanoli had spoken of a game to secure salvation but it is clear that his team is abundantly safe and that therefore they can try to play trying to make the most of every match without looking too much at the standings. Instead, Empoli will have the real urgency to move up the standings, a circumstance that has rarely occurred in recent months. The dark period for the Tuscans began right from the first leg, won by Torino thanks to a goal by Adams, when they were caught up in the standings by the Granata and began a descent from tenth place at the time, to eighteenth place today.

Torino's Shape and Key Statistics

Even if the standings don't show it, Torino is proving to be increasingly resilient and reliable: the tally of only 1 defeat in the last 11 games speaks in favor of Vanoli's team even if, the eleventh place in the standings, made up of 8 wins, 11 draws and 9 defeats, is not exciting.

Toro has one of the best internal defenses in the championship, the third least beaten after Napoli and Milan.

If in the last matches of the year at home Granata there was the problem related to the goal, in this 2025 it seems abundantly overcome: there are 9 consecutive matches in which Torino has scored, and in each of the last 4, Torino has always scored 2 goals!

Empoli's Shape and Key Statistics

The good news for Empoli is that, with a series of 3 draws and 10 defeats in the last 13 of the championship, salvation is still achievable.

In the middle of this long open streak, the great match played against Juventus that was worth the advancement of the round in the Coppa Italia.

So far, in the championship, there are only 4 victories for the Tuscans who, however, also looking at the other Cup successes, obtained away against Fiorentina and Turin, I can certainly say that they do less badly away from home. Of the 17 games played away this season, Empoli have lost only 6.

Torino vs Empoli Prediction and Tactical Analysis

Empoli is in a dark period, certified by the terrible sequence of matches in the championship that leaves few mitigating circumstances. Unfortunately for the Tuscans, the Torino that will host them, seems to be a team with an extra gear compared to that of a few months ago, more determined and brilliant that with its numerous quality players in midfield (Casadei, Ricci, Elmas, Lazaro, Vlasic) manages to express traits of good football. For this reason, even if, theoretically the motivations could be on the side of the Tuscans, the prediction of the BetMines algorithm, sees the home success as the most likely event.
