Juventus vs Empoli Prediction: Juve to win a tough match

Round 11 of the Italian Serie A kicks off in Turin, where Juventus will take on Empoli. Will the Bianconeri be able to confirm their status as favorites and win? We'll select a few odds at once.

Juventus win the derby

On the previous matchday Massimiliano Allegri's team faced Torino at the Stadio Olimpico. Another Turin derby was extremely tough for Juventus but it ended successfully. 1-0 – Dusan Vlahovic netted the winning goal 74 minutes into the game. Having achieved a vital success, Juve still occupies only the 8th place in the table. The Bianconeri have won only four games, 16 points, and five points behind the top-four in the Champions League zone.

Empoli also won previous round

The Blues have been looking good lately. So in the last four games the team had only one defeat, and that in the home game against Milan, when the Rossoneri scored the decisive goal in extra time. Empoli also recorded a 1-0 win against Bologna, a draw against Torino, which was also scored after the 90th minute. And the success in the previous round against Monza (1-0). In total, Empoli have 11 points in 10 games and a respectable 10th place in the Serie A standings.

Expert Betting Tips

Last season, Empoli beat Juventus in Turin 1-0. That defeat could prove to be disastrous for the Blues. Max Allegri's side, already desperately motivated by their poor start to the season, will be adding motivation to their upcoming game. It's unlikely to be easy for the Turin side, given their opponent's stout defense, but the Bianconeri are certainly capable of scoring one more goal.

Prediction: a hard-fought win for Juventus.
