Prediction: 1-1
Juventus
Stadio Carlo Castellani will host Saturday’s football game between Empoli and Juventus, the two top-table sides. Empoli made a promising start to the season, with the team beating AS Roma, while sharing the spoils with both Monza and Bologna and, no doubt, they are capable of making life difficult for Juve on home soil. Both Samuele Perisan and Tyronne Ebuehi are out of contention with injuries for the home side.
The Bianconeri, meanwhile, aim to overtake Inter in top position in the standings. Juventus, though, failed to impress in a goalless draw with Roma before the international break, which is probably the main reason why we predict that the hosts are going to grab something from Saturday’s encounter. All Chico Conceicao, Timothy Weah, and Khephren Thuram are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team, while Arkadiusz Milik is a major doubt.
