This weekend, Juventus aims to keep their dream of securing their first Serie A title in four years alive as they welcome relegation-threatened Empoli.
This season, the hosts have displayed nearly impeccable performance. Juventus, after securing several Serie A titles under Massimiliano Allegri, deemed it necessary to present their fans with captivating football and European titles, not merely Scudettos. The board recruited Maurio Sarri and Andrea Pirlo, but the plan faltered, leading them to revert to their former coach, Allegri. Since the 56-year-old resumed his role in 2021, The Old Lady has encountered some hurdles. However, they are presently soaring, trailing Inter, the league leaders, by just one point.
Empoli advanced from the second division at the conclusion of the 2020-21 season and have stayed in Serie A since then. Last season, Aurelio Andreazzoli’s squad ended four positions above the relegation zone. However, they currently find themselves in a precarious situation, sitting in the bottom three.
Juventus vs Empoli Betting Tips: Under 2.5 goals
This season, Juventus’ strongest attribute has been their defense, particularly during home games. The Old Lady managed to complete six out of their recent eight home league matches without allowing a goal and equally maintained under 2.5 goals in the same number of matches.
Empoli managed to keep just one clean sheet in their past three matches, yet the Gli Azzurri don’t let in many goals when playing away. In four out of their last five away games, they have allowed less than 1.5 goals, with the same number of matches concluding with less than 2.5 total goals.

Empoli team news
Davide Nicola, Empoli’s coach, will avoid the urge to rearrange the team that last time gave him their first victory in nine games.
After scoring a hat-trick in the game, Szymon Żurkowski has now reached a total of ten Serie A goals for the club, likely securing his position in midfield. Meanwhile, Alberto Cerri and Nicolò Cambiaghi are expected to make up the front two.
