Empoli vs Juventus Prediction & Betting Tips - Serie A

Prediction published on 02/09/2023, 05:33  by Daniel Ngulu in Serie A Predictions

Empoli hopes to take charge of their season when they host Juventus in their third league match of the season. Going into this game, the hosts are bottom of the standings while Juventus are sixth. Empoli and Lazio are the only teams yet to register a point after two rounds in the league. It is even worse for them that they lost in the Coppa Italia to Cittadella. The 2-0 defeat to Monza in their last outing means they haven't even scored a goal in the league this season. It will be an uphill task for them here, needing to improve both defensively and in attack. In the Serie A, Empoli have no win in four straight games, losing each of the last three. In the last 11 league matches, Empoli haven't kept a clean sheet and they haven't scored in the last three. They did beat Juventus 4-1 in their last meeting, but this is not a fixture they’ve enjoyed playing in.

Juventus have dominated this fixture over the years. They come into this game with 10 wins in 12 meetings with Empoli. Going by Empoli’s start to the season, Juventus will be the favorites here again. The visitors will take this as the perfect opportunity to rise from their 1-1 draw with Bologna last time out. In their opening game of the season, Juventus managed a 3-0 win over Udinese. They however needed a late Dusan Vlahovic equalizer late at home to Bologna to secure a point. That result ended their two-game winning run in the league. They can however boost their run of three wins in the last four away league matches. Those three wins have also come with clean sheets and they have one loss in five away league games.
