Two sides from the opposite ends of theSerie A table lock horns as league leaders Juventus square off against relegation-threatened Empoli.
Juventus have been nothing short of sublime domestically in the 2023/ 24 Serie A campaign as they are seeded at the summit of the Italian pack. The Italian heavyweights have lost just one game this season back in September and are on course to recapture the Italian crown once again.
Empoli, on the other hand, could be heading towards another loss when they face the Old Lady considering their recent form. Despite their win against Monza last week, Empoli have lost thrice in their previous five as they are hovering around the drop zone.
