Empoli vs Juventus Prediction & Betting tips
Empoli got the chance to escape from the relegation zone last week, but gave up a lead. Last week, Genoa showed how to keep Juventus out of the win, can Empoli also provide a stunt?
Empoli:
Empoli only managed to win six points in nine games, making it still in the relegation zone. Last weekend, it went to visit Frosinone, which at that time only had one point and the ideal opponent seemed to counter the full three points. Last season we saw two goal-rich games when these teams played against each other in the Serie B and it again became a spectacle, but one that both teams did not care much about. Frosinone took the lead early on thanks to a stubborn own goal by Silvestre, but Empoli battled back into the match and was right after a 1-2 lead via Zajc and Silvestre, who made his mistake. The entire game kept changing the penny, the home team came back on a 3-2 lead but gave it away again in the last ten minutes. With the 3-3 final score, both teams got what it deserved and it became clear again how weak these teams are in defense.
Juventus:
Juventus saw a small bump on the road to the championship last weekend, it tied 1-1 against Genoa and thus did not win this season for the first time. Cristiano Ronaldo made his fifth goal in the last six league matches but could not give his team the win. “We got more and more out of the game after a good start of the second half, instead of making the 2-0 yourself, you give away the 1-1.This is not good, you lose the title in this type of competition, In the second half it seemed like we were already with our head at Manchester “said coach Allegri. However, he added that it will help his team to stand on both feet with both feet again.
De Oude Dame was able to give an appropriate answer in midweek, winning at Manchester United with 0-1 thanks to an early goal from Dybala. Especially in the first half Juventus was very strong and the lead was right. Ronaldo managed to solve some hard shots that De Gea had a good answer to, the only feat of Manchester in this game was a shot from Pogba on the post.
For this match Allegri can not appeal to Can, he undergoes studies for his thyroid problems. Also, just like in the Champions League Mandzukic will be missing due to the ankle injury he sustained on Monday, Dybala seems again his logical replacement.
