Juventus vs Empoli: Preview, free tip and statistics
27.08.2021 10:00
Juventus take on newcomer Serie A side Empoli from Tuscany in the second round of Italy's top competition on Saturday night at the Allianz Stadium in Turin.
Background information, news and team form
Juventus did not enter the new season, in which they will surely want to attack the Scudetto, well at all, as they failed to bring a promising game to a successful conclusion at Udinese in the first away game of the season. Although the bianconeri managed to deservedly dominate the first half after goals from Argentine Dybala and Colombian Cuadrado. But in the second half, Juventus failed to score a third insurance goal and Udinese managed to draw the match after two goals from Pereyra from a penalty and Deulofeu.
Newcomer Empoli also failed to win at home in their opening game, but it must be noted that they put in a fighting performance against Lazio. Although the match ended with them losing 1:3, Empoli went ahead in the 4th minute after a Bandinelli shot. This man could have increased the score to 2-0, but his next shot attempt only hit the left post. However, after these two great chances, Lazio woke up and by the end of the half turned the game on their side after goals from Milinkovic - Savic, Lazzari, and Immobilehon made the final score 1:3.
Betdoin's view of the match
Juventus enter this match as clear favourites at odds of 1.26. Even though there are now more and more rumours that Juventus' biggest star Ronaldo will leave for Manchester City, Juventus still clearly have a better squad than the newcomer from Tuscany. The goal limit is set at three goals in this match. The Betdoin algorithm has calculated various scenarios for this match and the biggest value for this match lies mainly in the yellow cards. Whether in the home or away over.
Absentees and estimated line-ups
The biggest question mark on the Juventus side remains Portuguese superstar Ronaldo, who only started on the bench in the last game. There is more and more talk about his departure to Manchester City, so it is more than likely that he will not start this match. Federico Chiesa, who made his name mainly in the European Championship also started only from the bench and so he is expected to return to the starting lineup. Frenchman Adrien Rabiot returns to the centre of midfield after injury and American Weston McKennie returns after suspension. However, Brazilian Arthur remains out and Welshman Ramsey, still injured, picked up another injury last week. New Sassuolo acquisition Manuel Locatelli should get a chance in the starting line-up after making his debut in the last game against Udinese. Empoli reports no new injuries, leaving Fabiano Parisi as the only injured player.
Juventus - estimated line-up:
Szczesny - Cuadrado, De Ligt, Bonucci, Sandro - Bentancur, Locatelli, Bernardeschi - Chiesa, Morata, Dybala
Empoli - estimated line-up:
Vicario - Stojanovic, Ismajli, Romagnoli, Marchizza - Ricci, Stulac, Bandinelli - Bajrami - Mancuso, Cutrone
