The title race in Serie A will heat up once again this weekend, as Juventus look to pull clear of the field by landing a sixth straight victory. They will be heavily favoured in the betting on Saturday when they come up against an Empoli side that have found wins hard to come by.
Serie A Preview
It has been a stunning start to the Serie A season for Juventus, as they have put down a significant marker in the race for the title. The Old Lady took full advantage of their nearest rivals not playing in the previous round, as they moved to the summit of the top-flight standings. There is little to poke holes in when it comes to their form, as they have recorded victories in each of their last five.
Juventus have registered the most wins in the league this term, and only Inter Milan have allowed fewer goals after 21 rounds of matches. The Old Lady maintained their excellent run of form last week, as they recorded a comfortable 3-0 success on the road against Lecce. Dusan Vlahovic was in standout form for Juventus, as he netted a brace in that win.
Empoli will be the latest side to try and stop Juventus, but they come into this upcoming round of matches sitting inside the relegation places. However, a shock victory on the road would lift them out of the bottom three places in the standings.
The Italian side ended a long wait for maximum points in their most recent match, as they landed a victory against Monza. That was their best performance of the season so far, with Szymon Zurkowski being the star of the show after netting a stunning hat-trick for the strugglers.
Juventus vs Empoli Head to Head
Juventus have picked up victories in eleven of their last 13 matches against Empoli across all competitions. However, Empoli did pick up a rare win against the Old Lady last term. But, the previous meeting this season saw Juventus land a straightforward 2-0 victory on the road.
Juventus vs Empoli Prediction
The head-to-head record indicates the size of the challenge for Empoli this weekend. It is incredibly challenging to overlook Juventus, especially considering that they are the form side in Serie A at this stage of the season. We expect the hosts to comfortably pick up a 3-0 home win.
