Empoli vs Juventus Preview
Empoli
Empoli have kicked off the new season with a positive start. In their first three matches, Roberto D’Aversa’s men have surprisingly beat Roma and earned draws against Bologna and Empoli. Considering that they barely avoided relegation in the past season, this is a dream start for Azzurri Empolesi.
Under D’Aversa, the team appears more balanced and defensively organized, showing clear signs of improvement. However, the upcoming match against Juventus will be their first real test. They have managed to upset the Bianconeri in previous encounters and will look to repeat those past successes.
Leading the way for Empoli is Ghanaian forward Emmanuel Gyasi, who currently tops the club’s scoring charts with two goals.
Juventus
Following an amazing season with Bologna, Thiago Motta took the reins at Juventus, and his appointment has already shown positive results. The Old Lady began the new campaign by thrashing Como and Verona with 3-0 victories in the first two rounds. What’s even more noteworthy is that the quality of gameplay has improved remarkably.
However, their last outing resulted in a disappointing goalless draw against Roma. Overall, both sides produced an underwhelming performance, which justified the stalemate.
Thiago Motta will surely plan to grab all three points in the upcoming clash at Stadio Carlo Castellani. However, it won’t be an easy task, as Empoli has proven to be a resilient side at home.
Bet hereEmpoli vs Juventus Prediction
- Pick: Juventus to Win
- Odds: 1.72 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Empoli 0-2 Juventus
Juventus have had a dominant start and Bianconeri’s style has changed drastically. Unlike Massimiliano Allegri, who preferred a more defensive approach, Thiago Motta is focused on the offence and does not let his team lose control even for a minute.
Empoli might have managed to beat Juventus twice in the past 16 outings, but Juventus holds a clear advantage historically. The last game ended in a 1-1 draw and we think the guests will try to take revenge for the previous result.
Both sides are undefeated so far, but against Empoli, we think the Old Lady will be able to secure a hard-fought win. Thiago Motta has a much better squad, and we suggest picking Juventus to win this encounter.
Empoli vs Juventus Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Both Teams to Score – No
- Odds: 1.73 (22Bet)
Empoli have become tactically aware defensively under Roberto D’Aversa. Based on the first three matches of this campaign, they have effectively countered their in each encounter. Their performance has also improved in the attack, but we think that it will be difficult for them to score a goal against Juve.
Juventus have yet to concede a goal in the 2024/25 Serie A season. Apart from being lethal in the offense, Thiago Motta has put trust in two youngsters on the defensive flanks – Juan Cabal and Nicolo Savona. Bremer and Federico Gatti have also been stalwarts of the central part of the defence.
We think that Empoli will not risk going to the attack with full force and focus on the defence, which leads us to believe that the hosts will fail to score a goal. Therefore, a reasonable pick would be both teams not to score.
