The Serie A action resumes on Monday evening, as Juventus play on the road against Empoli. The Old Lady could secure their spot in next season’s Champions League with maximum points.
Serie A Preview
It has been a strange season to this point for Juventus, as they have overcome a number of struggles that have threatened to de-rail their European bid. However, the decision to overturn their point deduction was ultimately pivotal, as they have been able to open up a gap between themselves and the Champions League-chasers. The Old Lady now boast an eight-point advantage in the race for a European finish in Serie A, and they come into this match looking to secure their spot in next season’s competition.
Juventus certainly boast impressive form coming into this round of matches, as they have picked up victories in each of their previous three matches. Meanwhile, only Napoli has landed more victories in the Italian top-flight this term than the Old Lady. Their most recent success was recorded in Turin last weekend, as they registered a 2-0 victory against Cremonese.
Empoli will be the hosts this weekend, and their status in Serie A for next season is almost certainly ensured. They require just one more point to mathematically secure their place in the competition next season, but Empoli already looks safe, as they boast a nine-point advantage over the bottom three places in the standings.
They should come into this match in good confidence, as they have gone three without defeat. Empoli was held to a draw in their most recent fixture, which ended a two-game winning run in the competition. An unlikely victory over Juventus could set them up for a potential push to finish 13th in the standings.
Empoli vs Juventus Head to Head
Juventus has a dominant record in this fixture, as they have recorded ten wins in their previous eleven encounters against Empoli. Over that period, Empoli has recorded just a single victory, with that success coming in August 2021. However, the previous meeting this term saw the Old Lady run out 4-0 winners.
Empoli vs Juventus Prediction
Juventus have looked incredibly professional in their recent outings in Serie A, and that ensures that we don’t envisage them to have any issues in claiming maximum points on Monday. We could see the Old Lady landing a 2-0 win on the road.
