Juventus and Empoli are eager to win more matches as possible for a better placing in the Serie A league table. Empoli will be heading to Juventus for this match on October 22, 2022, at 2:45 AM (GMT+8). Both squads are looking to win as Juventus can secure the seventh spot while Empoli may secure the ninth spot. With two teams having one goal coming into this match, this is a battle of two hungry squads. Having said that, the hungrier squad takes home the victory in this match.
For the last five meetings of these two teams, the hosts came out victorious four times, compared to the one victory from the visitors. Back in February, they recorded a 3-2 victory against Empoli, the last time they met. Empoli on the other hand is not having a good season right now. They are currently the third worst attackers in the league as they only scored nine goals on their 10 matches so far. This only means the defenders are defending them in a very good way that is why they are having a hard time attacking. Both teams are currently not in a good form as both have been inconsistent lately. This needs to be addressed if they want to continue climbing up the league table.
Juventus
The hosts are at the eight spot of the league table and is looking to go up to the seventh spot with a win in this match. From their previous matches, they managed to get 16 points which is a good thing for them. Now, they are just five points away from going up the top six that is why they really want to win. However, recently, this squad have been very inconsistent, losing two of their last five matches. They are aiming to bounce back in this match in order to get more chances of advancing in the playoffs.
This squad remains to be without Mattia De Sciglio, Marley Ake, Federico Chiesa, Angel Di Maria, and Kaio Jorge because of their injuries. Luckily, Paul Pogba is nearing his come back for Juventus as he is now participating in the team practices. Bremer meanwhile, could also miss this match as he is experiencing a thigh strain.
Empoli
This squad is currently the 10th in the league table and are five points behind their opponents. The current situation of this squad is almost the same with their opponent as they are also in a very poor condition. In fact, they only won two of their last 11 matches across all competitions. As they are not having the outcome they wanted recently, they are hoping to turn things around here. A win in this match is more than enough to achieve their goal this season.
Ardian Ismajili, Lorenzo Tonelli, Alberto Grassi, and Jean-Daniel Akpa are all sidelined because of their injury. Luckily, there are no fresh health concerns in their squad before this match.
