Juventus, currently sitting at the top of Serie A, will face off against struggling Empoli in a crucial match this weekend. Juve has been in top form, losing only once this season and recording five consecutive victories. Meanwhile, Empoli finds itself near the bottom of the table with just four wins from 21 games. However, Empoli's recent win against Monza under new coach Davide Nicola has given them some hope.

Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri acknowledges that Empoli will be a "good challenge" for his team. He recognizes the quality players in Empoli's squad and the improvements made under Nicola's guidance. Allegri also emphasizes the importance of maintaining balance and consistency as they aim to extend their lead at the top of the table, with a potentially decisive clash against Inter Milan on the horizon.

Empoli, despite their recent victory, faces an uphill battle against Juventus. They have struggled to score goals this season, having the league's least potent attack. Additionally, Empoli has a poor record against Juventus, losing 12 out of 14 away games against them in Serie A.

Juventus will look to their top scorer, Serbian forward Dusan Vlahovic, who has already netted 11 goals this season. Empoli, on the other hand, will need to improve their offensive capabilities to have a chance against the dominant Juventus.

The match between Juventus and Empoli will be an interesting test for both teams. Will Juventus be able to maintain their unbeaten streak and further solidify their position at the top of Serie A? Or can Empoli defy the odds and secure a surprising victory?
