Juventus frankly failed the starting segment of the championship. Massimiliano Allegri’s team dropped out of the championship race in almost a quarter of the tournament distance. At the moment, the “old lady” is on the eighth line in the table, being ten points behind the leader “Napoli”. Theoretically, it is still possible to win back such a handicap, but to implement such a comeback in practice in conditions of the highest competition is an almost impossible task. At the same time, getting to the top four will be also not so easy. Roma has six points more. In the Champions League, the situation is identical to the one in which Juve drove themselves into the championship. Following the results of four rounds, the old lady is third in the group with three points in the asset and the gap between Benfica and PSG is already five points, which will be almost impossible to win back.
Empoli had a decent start to the championship, although it had certain problems. Paolo Zanetti’s team does not set ambitious goals for themselves and relies on maintaining residence in the Serie AJ, which they are coping with so far. With 11 points, the Azzurri are currently 10th in the table, being already six points ahead of 18th Verona. In the last round, Empoli got a very important victory over one of the main competitors in the fight for survival in the person of Monza. The goal of Nicolas Haas was the only and victorious and allowed the Azzurri to interrupt the nascent unsuccessful streak of two unsuccessful matches. It is noteworthy that this victory was the first home win for Empoli this season. By the way, if you are interested in deep football analysis and predictions, we recommend that you follow the link.
