Juventus will lock horns with Empoli in a Serie A fixture on Monday.
The hosts have won only one of their last 19 matches against Juventus in Serie A (D2 L16), winning in August 2021 thanks to a Leonardo Mancuso goal (1-0).
On the other hand, Juventus have won all five away matches against Empoli with Massimiliano Allegri as manager; against no team have they played more away matches while always winning with Allegri as the coach.
The Bianconeri are placed second on the Serie A table with 69 points from 35 matches and would like to add three more points to further strengthen their hold on that place.
Meanwhile, Empoli sit comfortably in 14th place with 39 points from 35 matches. Even if they lose their last three matches they will not be relegated. They have picked up seven points in their last three league outings and will be elated if they can upset Juventus in front of their fans.
