Juventus is set to face Empoli in what is anticipated to be a crucial Serie A match. The home team, Juventus, is riding high on a remarkable run of form, having secured victories in their last six matches across all competitions. They’re aiming to solidify their top position in the standings, especially given their aspirations to secure the Scudetto this season. Dusan Vlahovic, the Serbian striker, is a player to watch, having found his goal-scoring rhythm recently. However, Juventus will be without the services of Mattia De Sciglio, Federico Chiesa, Moises Kean, and Adrien Rabiot due to various reasons. The potent partnership of Kenan Yildiz and Vlahovic is expected to lead the attack .
Empoli, on the other hand, is determined to climb out of the relegation zone. They recently secured a much-needed victory over Monza, marking a positive start for their new manager Davide Nicola. Despite this, they are facing challenges, notably a four-game winless streak on the road. Their offensive capabilities are hampered by the absence of key players due to injuries. Nevertheless, Empoli will be bolstered by the return of Lazio loanee Matteo Cancellieri from suspension, and they will rely heavily on the contributions of Szymon Zurkowski, Serie A’s top scorer for 2024 alongside Juventus’ Vlahovic .
Given the current form and the previous encounter this season where Juventus defeated Empoli 2-0, the match is expected to be a challenging one for Empoli. Predictions are leaning towards a Juventus victory, maintaining their dominance and continuing their impressive run .
