JUVENTUS v EMPOLI – Pick: 1 HT/FT – 04 April 2015

Juve to continue amazing home run

International Football Tips

Football – Italy – Serie A

Saturday 4th April 2015 – Kickoff: 2100hrs

Runaway Serie A league leaders Juventus will be looking to flex their muscles this evening when they entertain Empoli at their Juventus Stadium when the Italian top flight action winds up for another week.

Juventus have won four of their last five with wins over Atalanta, Sassuolo, Palermo and Genoa and in fact, the Italian giants have now gone an amazing 19 matches without defeat in the Serie A, fully deserving of their 14-point cushion that they hold at the top of the division.

Their home form has been almost perfect, albeit for a couple of draws, but an overall record of  12-2-0  34/7 is enough to strike fear into any team’s hearts that are planning a trip to their backyard, not least when you consider that Juve have won their last six matches on the trot on home soil.

 

Empoli have the unenviable task this week of attempting to tame the Juve beast, but they come into tonight’s match on the back of a 3-1 home win over Sassuolo before the international break and are unbeaten in their last eight matches overall.

Away from home, Empoli have been involved in four stalemates on the trot in recent weeks with draws at Roma, AC Milan, Palermo and Cagliari although we shouldn’t be too surprised as their overall away results consists largely of draws in a record of  1-9-3  13/16.

 

To wrap up, Juventus know they’ll take another big step towards capturing another Serie A title if they win tonight, and with 10 out of 14 home matches with them being ahead at half-time, I’ll back them to be ahead at the end of 45 minutes to grab all three points come the final whistle. Juventus could win perhaps 2-0.
