Performing at their own stadium in the previous season Juventus delivered 14-2-3 (win-draw-lost) with 40 goals and 18 conceded.

Juventus shared the glory with Udinese in their last match, an away game that ended all square 2-2. The attacker Paulo Dybala was "man of the match" for Juventus with a rating of 8.55/10. Dybala scored one goal, served one assist, hit two key passes and dribled passed the opponent 2 of 3 times. A disappointing finish for Juventus in their match versus Udinese as their 2-0 lead was destroyed and replaced with a 2-2 full time score.

Empoli form and stats

Let's have a look at how Empoli performed last season in the Serie B: They landed a 1st position in the league table after playing out 19 victories, 16 draws and 3 defeats. In total they scored 68 and conceded 35 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 8 - drew 8 and lost 3 with 30/20 goals scored/conceded. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Empoli are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

Home advantage was not enough for Empoli in their previous game, as they lost their Serie A-match, hosting Lazio, 1-3. Midfield player Samuele Ricci was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.45/10. Ricci hit one key pass, dribled passed the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 60 successful passes (of 63 total).

That result followed a home victory 4-2 versus Vicenza in the Coppa Italia.

With the home team given a winning probability of about 80% by the bookmakers, any positive result for the visitors would be a surprise. Checking earlier matches with similar odds with Empoli as the away team, we found two results. Statistics from these were zero away wins, zero draws and two defeats. The outsiders lost zero of these games by at least two goals.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Juventus nine wins, one draw and Empoli zero victories. As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six games had two or less.
