Juventus is set to square off against Empoli on February 26, 2025, at 21:00 at the Allianz Stadium for the Quarter-Final of the Italian Cup, marking an important clash for both teams.
The defending champions, Juventus, are coming off a solid performance, having won four consecutive matches, which places them fourth in Serie A. They recently defeated Cagliari 1-0, indicating their strong momentum as they aim to add another trophy to their cabinet.
On the flip side, Empoli has found itself struggling severely, having not won any matches nor scored points for eleven games. Their recent match against Atalanta ended in disaster, with Empoli losing 0-5, adding more pressure as they find themselves dangerously close to the relegation zone.
Historically, Juventus has been dominant against Empoli at home, winning 11 of their last 13 encounters at the Allianz Stadium, including the last match where they triumphed with a commanding score of 4-1. This sets the stage for what appears to be another uphill battle for Empoli.
Upcoming predictions suggest players like Max Allegri for Juventus will utilize their best tactics against Empoli's coach Roberto D'Aversa, who must rally his players to safeguard their Serie A status after such dismal performances.
Betting predictions also heavily favor Juventus, with odds showing their victory at 1.25 compared to Empoli’s 12.00. A draw stands at 6.10, reflecting the general consensus among bookmakers on the likely outcome.
