Juventus Looks To Extend Winning Streak Against Empoli

Juventus aims to continue their winning streak as they face Empoli in a crucial game at the Allianz Stadium in Turin. The top-of-the-table clash is scheduled for 17:00 UK time. After claiming victory against Lecce, Juventus took advantage of schedule gaps and rose to the top of the Serie A table, increasing pressure on their rivals.

Unfortunately, Juventus will be without the injured trio of Mattia De Sciglio, Adrien Rabiot, and Federico Chiesa. On the other hand, Empoli has been struggling this season, managing only two wins in their last 12 league matches. They currently sit in 19th place, two points behind 17th place Cagliari.

Empoli will have to cope without Simone Bastoni, Mattia Destro, Francesco Caputo, Tyronne Ebuehi, and Gabriele Guarino, who are all injured. In their previous encounter in September, Juventus emerged victorious with a 2-0 win, thanks to goals from Danilo and Chiesa.

Juventus is expected to field a 3-5-2 formation with Szczesny in goal, supported by Gatti, Bremer, and Danilo in defense. The midfield will consist of Cambiaso, McKennie, Locatelli, Miretti, and Kostic, while Vlahovic and Yildiz will lead the attack. Empoli, on the other hand, will set up in a 3-5-2 formation with Caprile in goal, shielded by Ismajli, Walukiewicz, and Luperto in defense. Bereszynski, Zurkowski, Grassi, Marin, and Gyasi will form the midfield, while Cerri and Cambiaghi will be the attacking duo.
