The Empoli vs Juventus clash will take place at 6.05 PM CET (the FICG decided to delay the start of the Serie A matches as a protest for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine) at the Stadio Carlo Castellani in Empoli.
The last time these two teams met was on 28th August and the Azzurri snatched an unpredictable victory at the Allianz Stadium, taking home three valuable points. Six months later, Juventus are holding on tight to the fourth place while Empoli are in the 13th place – nine points away from the relegation zone.
While Empoli are still looking for a victory which has been missing for 9 games, the Bianconeri are unbeaten in 12 games in Serie A. The last game they lost was against Atalanta in November.
Aurelio Andreazzoli will rely on his usual lineups while Massimiliano Allegri is expected to change his system of play after the Champions League match against Villarreal, where he lost both Weston McKennie and Alex Sandro to injuries.
Official Lineups
Empoli(4-3-1-2): Vicario; Stojanovic, Ismajli, Luperto, Cacace; Zurkowski, Asllani, Bandinelli; Bajrami; Di Francesco, Pinamonti.
