Empoli take on the champions Juventus in the round 7 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played at Stadio Carlo Castellani (Empoli) on Sunday, October 2nd.
Empoli can’t be proud of their results at the start of the season. The hosting side lost four out of six games place and sit on 19th position in the league with four points taken. The only win of the season was taken over Crotone, 2-1, and it was followed with three matches without a win. Empoli lost their two recent games to Inter and Lazio, both 0-2. Offensive line of the hosts doesn’t produce enough goals to be competitive and two goals against Crotone was their only precise shots this season so far.

Juventus had strong respond to unexpected 0-2 loss to Inter. The champions won following three games with 9-0 on aggregate, proving that defeat in Milan was an accident. Bianconeri are on the first position in the league with 15 points taken in six matches with 12-4 aggregate goal difference. The Old Lady won their away Champions League fixture in Zagreb this midweek, thrashing Dinamo 4-0. Of course, Juventus won’t settle for any other results but another victory.
Juventus haven’t lost any of their recent six head-to-heads, recording wins in five of them. Recent four meeting ended also with Juve wins with 8-1 on aggregate. Empoli have problems creating and converting scoring chances while the visitors are showing excellent results in recent games so we should expect another confident win of the title holders.
Prediction for the match: Juventus to win with -1.0 Asian handicap.
