Preliminary review and match prediction for Empoli vs Juventus
Empoli have not won a Serie A game since December 12. Surely, that is a very long period as the Blues seem to have pulled the brakes after somehow securing a mid-table position.
The Serie B reigning champions had a fairly fine start to the season by winning three of their opening six fixtures. Moreover, the Blues registered some interesting wins over Juventus, Fiorentina, and Napoli.
Holding on to a lead became a big issue in the last seven games. To explain, in three of those seven matches, Empoli took the lead but still finished the game with a draw losing six points in the process.
In spite of their unbeaten run, Juventus have one win and three draws in their last four fixtures. Hence, the Bianconerri lost six points in three games which could easily put them in the top three.
The acquisition of Vlahohic helped Juve in their win over Verona when the Serb scored in his debut. However, with Dybala injured for two games, no other midfielder is creating chances for Vlahovic to score.
And Allegri knows this problem since he substitutes two or three of his midfield players during every game. Thus, the problem remains the same with Juve scoring few goals, four in as many games to be exact.
Sebouh Babikian prediction for Empoli vs Juventus
We predict Juventus to continue their undefeated run. Allegri will hope Dybala will be fit to play to have many more attacking options. Empoli are a stubborn team and know how to end a game in a draw but we think Juve will come on top this time.
Safe Bet
There is a 74% chance for both teams to score according to statistics. In addition, Empoli’s 85% of home games saw goals at both ends of the field. As for Juventus, in 62% of the Bianconeri away games, both teams scored. Thus with such high percentages and odds of 1.73, we will back for BTTS to happen at the Castellani on Saturday.
Quick Rich
The 1-2 correct score has odds of 7.60 and despite the fact that it never happened in Juve’s games this season we will back it. To illustrate, Empoli conceded on average 2.6 goals this season. Juventus usually let in 1.08 goa per game when playing on the road.
Empoli vs Juventus First Goalscorer
Dusan Vlahovic is bound to score anytime soon for Juventus and we predict this will be the day. In fact, the Serb scored the first goal against Empoli when he was with Fiorentina this season. We will back Vlahovic to be the first goalscorer in this match.
