Prediction: 0-1
Juventus
Stadio Carlo Castellani will host Sunday’s football game between Empoli and Juventus. The Azzurri are eager to make amends for back-to-back losses to Verona and Monza, but they face yet another tough challenge against Juve. Last season Empoli crushed Juventus 4-1 in front of home fans and, no doubt, the hosts want the history to repeat itself. However, home win should not be considered this time out as Empoli made a slow start to the season.
Juve, meanwhile, kicked off the new Serie A campaign with a routine 3-0 win over Udinese, with the team coming from behind to share the spoils with Bologna at the weekend. Juve want to take advantage of Empoli’s poor form and we predict that Dusan Vlahovic and Co. are going to prove their worth on the field. Both Wojciech Szczesny and Mattia De Sciglio are injured for the visiting side.
Highlighted Player (Paul Pogba):
After spending four seasons at Juventus, Paul Pogba returned to Manchester United in the summer of 2016. The French midfielder signed a five-year deal with the Premier League giants for a world-record fee of €105 million. He set an all-time record for highest football transfer fee, surpassing Gareth Bale, the former record holder. However, he missed the 2016/2017 Premier League opener against Bournemouth through suspension.
Pogba was born in Lagny-sur-Marne, France on 15 March, 1993 and he represents les Tricolores on the international stage. He won the 2013 FIFA U20 World Cup with France, while making it to the Euro 2016 final with Didier Deschamps’ troops. However, they were beaten by Portugal in the title game at Stade de France.
It has to be noted that Paul Pogba won four Serie A trophies with Juventus. He produced a fine display in the 2013/2014 Champions League final against Barcelona, but Juve suffered a 3-1 loss to Barca in the Olympiastadion Berlin clash. Pogba is a central midfielder, but he is capable of playing as an attacking and a defensive midfielder as well.
