There's Serie A action coming our way on Sunday from the home of Juventus, who take on Empoli. The hosts, known in Italy as the Old Lady, will be looking to bounce back having not only lost in the UEFA Champions League during the week, but having lost in the league last weekend, coming unstuck against league leaders Napoli. This is absolutely a more winnable game for the giants of Italian soccer, though they may need to improve to get the job done. For the visitors, who fought hard to secure a point against Bologna last time out, it's all about staying in the game and taking their chances if and when they come, which is something that they've actually done quite well this season. Perhaps that's why the men coached by Roberto D'Aversa are so far succeeding in their mission to beat the drop.

Our Juventus vs Empoli Prediction

Let's face it, on paper this is clearly a winnable game for Juventus. However, we shouldn't totally discount the visitors, who often score, and who can be quite effective on the break. Given his numbers for the season, visiting forward Sebastian Esposito looks a decent bet to register at least one shot on target. Playing on the break in away games has suited Esposito, who is no stranger to testing keepers in even the biggest games, shooting on target at least once against the likes of Inter, Lazio, Roma and Napoli already this season. All things considered, odds of +118 look a little too user friendly to turn down. Our Juventus vs Empoli Pick: Sebastian Esposito Over 0.5 Shots on Target. 

Prediction:

 

Sebastian Esposito Over 0.5 Shots on Target
