Juventus 4-1 Empoli

Current streaks

Recent form

Juventus

Juventus have been struggling to find consistent form in recent weeks, with their last six matches yielding only one victory. The Bianconeri's defensive record has been relatively solid, conceding just six goals in this period and keeping two clean sheets. However, their attacking output has been a concern, with a meagre average of 0.83 goals scored per game. The team's matches have been notably low-scoring affairs, with 83% of their last six games featuring under 2.5 goals. Juventus are currently enduring a two-match losing streak, having suffered defeats in their most recent Champions League and Serie A fixtures. Their fifth-place position in the league table reflects their inconsistent performances, with the team seemingly struggling to find the balance between defence and attack that has historically been their hallmark.

Empoli

Empoli are currently enduring a challenging period in Serie A, sitting in 14th position with 21 points from 22 games. Their recent form has been particularly concerning, with the team winless in their last seven matches and failing to keep a clean sheet in their last 12 outings. Over the past six games, Empoli have managed just two draws and suffered four defeats, conceding a worrying 13 goals whilst scoring only seven. Their defensive frailties are evident, with an average of 2.17 goals conceded per game, contributing to a negative goal difference of -6. Interestingly, both teams have scored in all of their last six matches, and 67% of these games have seen over 2.5 goals, indicating a tendency for high-scoring affairs. The 3-2 loss to Atalanta stands out as a particularly goal-laden encounter. Despite their struggles, Empoli have consistently found the net, scoring in each of their last six matches, which offers a glimmer of hope amidst their current poor run of form.

Recent home/away form

Juventus

Juventus' recent home form has been inconsistent, with the Old Lady struggling to find consistency at the Allianz Stadium. In their last six home matches, Juventus have managed two wins, two draws, and two losses, reflecting their mixed fortunes. The Bianconeri have been involved in some high-scoring encounters, with 67% of these games seeing over 2.5 goals. Their most impressive result came in the Coppa Italia, where they thrashed Cagliari 4-0. However, Juventus have also shown vulnerability, conceding two goals in four of their last six home fixtures. Despite this, they've maintained a positive goal difference and averaged 1.83 goals scored per game, indicating their attacking prowess remains intact. The team's inability to keep clean sheets consistently, managing only two in this period, suggests defensive improvements are needed if Juventus are to climb from their current 5th position in Serie A.

Empoli

Empoli have been struggling away from home, with only one win in their last six away matches. The team's defensive frailties are evident, conceding an average of 2.17 goals per game and failing to keep a clean sheet in any of these fixtures. However, their attacking prowess has been noteworthy, scoring in five out of six matches and averaging 1.67 goals per game. The high-scoring affair against Hellas Verona, where Empoli won 4-1, stands out as a particularly impressive performance. Interestingly, 83% of Empoli's away games have seen both teams score and over 2.5 goals, suggesting their matches are often entertaining for neutrals. Despite their recent poor form, Empoli have shown resilience, managing to secure draws against Fiorentina and Venezia amidst a run of defeats against stronger opposition like Inter Milan, Atalanta, and AC Milan.
