Our Analysis: Form of Both Teams
Two teams towards the top of the Serie A table will go head-to-head this weekend, as Juventus travel to Empoli looking to keep their unbeaten record intact, while the same can be said for their hosts.
It won’t be an easy trip for Juventus, as Empoli have already beaten Roma on their travels this season, as well as picking up a promising point against Bologna.
However, two 3-0 victories over Como and Verona have shown how ruthless Juve can be in the final third, and their 0-0 draw against Roma may have frustrated fans, but it was yet another pleasing defensive display.

Three wins from four for Juve
Juventus have almost had a flawless start to their campaign, beginning with two 3-0 victories before drawing 0-0 at home to Roma.
Under Thiago Motta, the former Bologna head coach is already getting a tune out of his new side, appearing to handle the extreme pressures that come with Juve incredibly well.
More impressively, they’ve kept three clean sheets in a row. Empoli are also unbeaten, impressing in their win against Roma. However, there’s something special going on at Juve at present. Motta’s influence on the team has been instantaneous.
Empoli will make it tough, but Juve must win these kinds of games if they are to keep tabs on Inter.

Serbian to snatch a goal
If Juve are to win, they may need their leading talisman to once again be on the scoresheet. Dusan Vlahovic scored 16 goals in 33 Serie A appearances last season, which was more impressive considering that Juve underperformed.
He’s already bagged a brace against Verona, as the Serbian striker continues to show why he’s one of the best in Europe. The fact he is also the club’s main penalty take always helps when you’re backing a player to score.
He did, however, miss a penalty in this fixture last term, but he got his revenge when scoring at home against Empoli a few months later.
Empoli will do extremely well to keep him quiet across the 90 minutes.

Goals underestimated in the market
Juventus may head into this with three clean sheets to their name, but Empoli will back themselves to end that run.
They were mightily impressive against Roma, grabbing a couple of goals and the win without really dominating the match.
Empoli have scored against Juventus in three of the last five head-to-head matches, where three have also seen at least three goals between the two sides.
We’ve seen how dangerous Juventus can be in front of goal already, but the hosts have shown against both Roma and Bologna they can go toe to toe with most teams in Serie A.
