Juventus vs Empoli, Prediction, team news, watch live streaming

Two consecutive 2-0 defeats, including one at the hands of Israeil side Maccabi Haifa in the Champions League, plunged Juventus further into crisis and piled on even more pressure on under-fire boss Massimiliano Allegri.

Every game is a must-win now for Allegri and next up are a tricky Empoli side who won here 1-0 in August 2021 in what was incidentally his first Serie A home match of his second stint as Juventus boss.

Juventus will be aiming to move up to seventh in the table when they host Empoli in Serie A on Friday night. The visitors, meanwhile, can jump one spot to ninth should they pull off a shock victory.

Dusan Vlahovic bagged his sixth league goal of the season with a 74th-minute winner, which saw the Old Lady move within six points of the Champions League qualification places.

Things have not exactly gone to plan in Europe for them either, with a surprising 3-1 defeat to Maccabi Haifa in Israel last week leaving the 1996 Champions League winners on the brink of elimination from the competition.

Empoli, meanwhile, have began the season in better form than many would have expected even after comfortably surviving their first season back in Serie A in the last campaign.

Their 1-0 win against potential relegation rivals Monza last weekend moved Paolo Zanetti's side six points clear of the drop zone and into the top half of the table ahead of their trip to Turin on Friday.

Zanetti will almost certainly instil a similar gameplan from the start against Juventus on Friday, with avoiding defeat representing a more than adequate return for his side.

Prediction Match : Juventus 1 vs 0 Empoli

Both of these sides' league games this season have only averaged exactly two goals per game, so it is hard to envisage either goalkeeper being too busy on Friday.
