Juventus vs Empoli: prediction & betting odds 26 Feb 2025
Betting tips 26 Feb 2025
It is possible that Juventus’ elimination from the Champions League in the round of 16 may work in their favour for domestic results. They continue their Coppa Italia campaign with a match against Empoli, who will aim to defend resolutely in Turin against any attack from the favourites.
In their away match against Cagliari on Sunday (1:0), Juventus struggled to register a decisive shot in the opponent’s penalty area – from 2.11 xG and seven shots on target, they managed only an early goal from Dušan Vlahovic. Since the start of the campaign, Juventus have suffered only two home defeats – both occurring in the Champions League (0:1 against VfB Stuttgart and 0:2 to S.L. Benfica). They still boast the best defence in Serie A alongside Napoli (both having conceded 21 goals), although Juventus have a slightly higher xGA (23.39).
Earlier in February, Empoli suffered a heavy defeat away to Juventus (1:4), after which they entered a goal drought. Since February 8th, Empoli have lost three matches with a combined score of 0:10, failing to register a single goal from an aggregate of 3.92 xG. It is clear that after a 0:5 thrashing by Atalanta, coach Roberto D'Aversa must respond, as he is on the brink of dismissal.
We also note that until their recent match in Turin, Juventus and Empoli had not achieved a Total Over 2.5 in three consecutive head-to-head encounters. After an exhausting period, Juventus will likely aim to conserve energy, while Empoli, reeling from their recent defeat, are expected to adopt a compact defensive approach in their own half.
