Player to watch – Andrea Pinamonti

Andrea Pinamonti is Genoa’s leading marksman in Serie A this season with eight goals and the talismanic forward bagged two goals in his last two outings in the division.

Pinamonti can do more damage

Pinamonti looks like one of the likeliest goalscorers ahead of Sunday’s game and the 25-year-old forward should be confidence and sharp against Empoli following his recent burst of goals for Genoa.
