Prediction: 2-0
Empoli
Juventus will be aiming to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win in the Turin derby when they take on Empoli on Matchday 11. The Bianconeri quickly bounced back from a 2-0 loss to Milan, with Dusan Vlahovic scoring the winner against Il Toro, and, no doubt, the Serbia striker will pose a big threat to the opposition back-line. All Angel Di Maria, Mattia De Sciglio, Marley Ake, and Paul Pogba remain in the recovery room, while Friday’s game comes too early for important winger Federico Chiesa, who is back in training.
The Azzurri, on the other hand, aim to build on a win over Monza, but seeing that Juve are eager to rejoin the Scudetto race, home triumph should be considered. As for the away team, all Alberto Grassi, Daniel Akpa, Ardian Ismajli, and Lorenzo Tonelli are out of contention through injuries.
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.
