The Blues this season are working under the leadership of Roberto D'Aversa and so far perform, given the very modest level of performers, just fine. After 17 rounds, Empoli is in the middle of the league standings - in 11th place, and ahead of the relegation zone on five points. Not a bad handicap for this stage of the championship.
This gap could have been bigger, but Empoli lost their previous two matches. First at home, they conceded the only goal in the 70th minute from Torino, and then away they failed to cope with Atalanta (2:3), while imposing the leader of the championship the most serious resistance - the winning goal Bergamaski scored only in the end of the game.
Genoa
If Empoli are rather exceeding expectations in the first half of the season, then Genoa have failed to live up to them. The Gryphons have already changed their head coach, appointing Patrick Vieira, ex-coach of Nice and Crystal Palace, instead of Alberto Gilardino. The second part of the season for the new coach will be difficult, because the handicap of Genoa from the relegation zone is currently only two points.
Last round, Genoa lost to Napoli (1:2), but this failure was the first for the team after the coaching reshuffle. Before that, the Griffins drew with Cagliari (2:2), Torino (0:0) and Milan (0:0), and beat Udinese away (2:0).
