Juventus midweek managed to acquire an ideal position in the Champions League. FC Porto won 0-2 giving the team from Turin already in the next round with a half leg. For the men of Massimiliano Allegri is Saturday’s showdown with Empoli on the program. An apparently easy snack.
Juventus
Juventus currently have the correct form and that FC Porto on Wednesday also came back. The Portuguese did last great, but two minutes of carelessness finally resulted in a 0-2 defeat. Marko Pjaca opened the score in the second half and Dani Alves doubled the margin on the board allowing Juventus moved with a sense of satisfaction from the field. The focus will again be on the Serie A and the upcoming match against Empoli looks ahead ideal for booking the 22nd win of the season. The statistics of the home matches of the current leader of the Serie A seem to be more impressive by the week. Juventus won to date all thirteen games for his home crowd and swallowed just seven goals. The danger will sit this week in the underestimation. Juventus has some energy lost heavily in the Champions League and the team from Turin will be now without much extra effort to defeat Empoli.
Allegri this season include a selection that is full of quality and therefore seems obvious that the coach against Empoli will make some changes to some players to rest. Leonardo Bonucci will “just” expected to appear at the kickoff. The central defender was midweek left out of the squad after an altercation with Allegri, but now the hatchet has been buried again. Andrea Barzagli and Giorgio Chiellini are not quite armpit come fresh out of the Champions League and they will most likely end up on the bench.
Probable lineup Juventus
Buffon, Dani Alves, Bonucci, Rugani, Alex Sandro, Khedira, Marchisio, Cuadrado, Dybala, Mandzukic, Higuain
Empoli
Empoli this season perhaps the least attractive team of Serie A. The formation of Giovanni Matusciello produced this year only 15 goals in 25 games and that can rightfully be called a dramatic statistics. Fact is, moreover, however, that Empoli in one way or another has beaten far at the right time, for the current seventeenth position would be enough at the end of the drive to extend the stay at the highest level with a season. From mid-December last year Empoli achieved crucial victories against Cagliari (2-0), Palermo (1-0) and Udinese (1-0), making the team Matusciello looks towards self-preservation, despite the disappointing goal production. The current hole number eighteen Palermo eight points and that should be enough to avoid relegation to Serie B.
The current form is, moreover, nothing to write home about. Empoli won the last four matches only one point (1-1 against Torino), causing pressure surely there will be. In recent weeks Empoli got the chance to show the qualities against teams in the top half, but remained a stunt against Internazionale (2-0) and Lazio (1-2) off. Empoli will really have to rise above themselves to make at all difficult for Juventus home crowd. Empoli won only once this season, an away game and therefore it seems almost impossible that the defeat is prevented.
Incidentally Matusciello is expected to be available to its best potential. Behind the name of top goalscorer Levan Mchedlidze is only a question mark. The Georgian, this season, accounting for five of the fifteen goals will on race his fitness to be able to show to appear at kick-off in Turin.
Probable lineup Empoli
Skorupski, Laurini, Bellusci, Costa, Pasqual, Krunic, Diousse, Croce, El Kaddouri, Pucciarelli, Maccarone
