Empoli vs Juventus Betting Tips

Empoli have quietly moved into the Serie A’s mid-table thanks to a three-game unbeaten run that has included a 1-0 away win over Palermo and a 2-0 victory against Genoa. They’ve not done it by scoring lots of goals, but they’ve picked up good value for their better performances. They’ve also played some of their better home at football.

Meanwhile, have Juventus actually turned a corner? They have three wins, one draw and just one defeat in their last five Serie A games, moving up to 10th in the table. In the mess that the Serie A has been for most of the season, it’s not out of the question that Juventus could propel themselves back into the title competition.

Of course, they’ve not dominated any football games either and no match-up feels intuitively easy at this point, including a tricky trip to play Empoli on Sunday afternoon. Still, the new look Juventus might finally be trending in the direction that most people would have expected.

Three Reasons for Betting Tips

1. Juventus find a way

It hasn’t necessarily been pretty, but Juventus keep finding a way to pick up points and we’ll predict that they do the same against Empoli.

2. Empoli lack of cutting edge

As well as they have played recently, Empoli are not a club with a lot of cutting edge. It’s a problem that could catch up to them on Sunday.

3. Tight game

We do think that this will be a very closely and hard-fought match-up. Indeed, our correct score prediction anticipates a 1-0 score-line.
