Empoli vs. Juventus Match Preview: Time, TV Schedule, and How to Watch the Serie A Clash
The Lowdown on Empoli
Empoli is currently sitting comfortably in 12th place in the Serie A standings with 14 points from 11 matches. The team has been in solid form lately, winning three of its last five matches, including a 2-1 victory over Sassuolo last weekend.
Empoli's success this season has been built on a strong defense. The team has conceded just 12 goals in 11 matches, which is the third-fewest in Serie A.
Key players for Empoli include goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, defender Ardian Ismajli, and midfielder Jean-Daniel Akpa Akpro.
Juventus Seeking Resurgence
Juventus are languishing in eighth place in the Serie A standings with 19 points from 11 matches. The team has been struggling for form this season, winning just four of its last eight matches.
Juventus's struggles have been due in part to a lack of consistency. The team has been unable to put together a run of good form, and it has often been let down by individual errors.
Key players for Juventus include goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny, defender Leonardo Bonucci, and midfielder Manuel Locatelli.
Matchup and Prediction
The match between Empoli and Juventus is a difficult one to call. Empoli has been in good form lately, but Juventus has the quality to win any match.
Ultimately, I think Juventus will win this match 2-1. The team has more quality than Empoli, and it should be able to overcome the home side's defensive resilience.
