Empoli take on the visitors Juventus in the round 3 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Sunday, September 3rd at Stadio Carlo Castellani (Empoli).
At the end of the previous Serie A season, Empoli's footballers finished in 14th place in the table, indicating the team's level. There are no prerequisites for the Blues to perform better in the new championship. In the first two matchdays, the team suffered two defeats. First, Paolo Zanetti's charges lost to Verona (0-1) at home, a team that managed to stay in the league last season only through a playoff match. Then, Empoli couldn't oppose anything to Monza (0-2), a mid-table team, away. I think even in the match against Juventus, the chances for Blues to secure even a draw are slim.

Turin's team is determined to swiftly regain the championship in Italy after a few years. And it's quite realistic: Juventus have a high-quality squad, and there's no need to spread themselves thin on European competitions this season; they can focus entirely on Serie A. During the summer, the team played three good friendly matches against top opponents: Atalanta (0-0), Real Madrid (3-1), and Milan (a victory in a penalty shootout). In the league, Juventus started with a confident and big victory over Udinese away (3-0). They showcased great football, scoring all three goals before halftime. Yes, in the second match, Juventus unexpectedly dropped points in a draw against Bologna (1-1), but in terms of the game, they looked stronger than their opponents.
So, what do we have in the end? In terms of squad and ambitions, Juventus are the clear favorite in the match against Empoli. At the start of the season, Turin's team looks significantly stronger than their opponent, and their results have been better so far. Although Juventus faced tougher opponents in the first two rounds compared to Empoli. I don't expect any surprises in this match, and I won't reinvent the wheel when it comes to the bet. The prediction is a victory for the favorite based on their class. Yes, last season, Juventus unexpectedly lost to Empoli's footballers away. But in the five previous head-to-head matches on the opponent's field, Turin's team came out on top five times against this opponent.
Prediction for the match: Juventus to win.
