Juventus hosts Empoli in round 2 of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Saturday, August 28th at Allianz Stadium (Turin)
In the previous season, Juventus jumped into the top four with difficulty, but the team will play in the UEFA Champions League group stage. Everyone saw the problem areas of the Old Lady. Changing the head coach did not give any result but only made things worse. In this regard, the management of the club decided to contact the specialist with whom the Black-and-Whites had won trophies regularly. In the summer, the club was headed by Massimiliano Allegri. Juventus retained the backbone of the team, persuaded Ronaldo to stay, and strengthened by loaning Locatelli, who became the European champion in the Italian national team. In the first round of Serie A of the 2021/2022 season, the Bianconeri confirmed the problems we saw earlier. They were ahead 2-0 in the away match against Udinese but managed to lose all the advantage. Ronaldo tried to save the team and even scored a goal, but it was canceled by the VAR system due to a centimeter offside.

Empoli is a modest football club that has returned to the top league of Italian football. The team won Serie B with confidence and gained promotion. The total value of all footballers is less than € 60 million. It says a lot. It will be extremely difficult to compete with representatives of the top division in the 2021/2022 season. This thesis was confirmed by the first round. Aurelio Andreazolli's charges hosted Lazio. The Blues sensationally scored a quick goal in the 4th minute but failed to keep at least a draw. The Romans turned on the second speed, pressed the opponent, and upset the goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicari three times in the first half. Thus, Empoli started the season with a home defeat.
When the teams last crossed paths in Serie A, Juventus always had an advantage over a modest opponent. The Black-and-Whites won eight consecutive head-to-head confrontations against Empoli, scoring an average of two goals in every match. Now the Blues have a weak lineup, and the hosts will be angry and motivated, as they lost points in the first match. We believe that the hosts should rehabilitate themselves in front of their fans and will gain a confident victory.
Prediction for the match: Juventus to win and Over 2.5 goals scored
