The Old Lady stuttered to a 2-1 loss in Extra Time in sunny Seville on Thursday. It ended their European dream after crashing out of a strong Champions League group, placing additional importance on their visit to Empoli.

Juventus to sneak three points with Empoli safe
Concerns are still very much present regarding a point deduction in Serie A, so every point is vital en route to finishing the season. That current landscape places additional importance on Monday’s fixture and influences the Juventus vs Empoli tips.
Contrastingly, Empoli sit nine points off the relegation zone in Italy’s top-flight with three games left. They are safe after the weekend and a midtable finish is fancied in the latest Serie A odds.
At this stage of the season, it’s often wise to side with the favourite, especially if said team presents as the stronger outfit. The hosts are the favourites in the latest odds and with good reason.

Vlahovic capable of firing as the season winds down
It’s difficult to gauge what lineup Allegri will name after playing in Europe last week. Nevertheless, Dusan Vlahovic should still prove to be a wise punt in the goalscorer markets.
It hasn’t been a stellar season for him, far from it. Rumours of the Serb leaving the club are a testament to that. However, a goal in Seville and a goal apiece against Lecce and Atalanta at the start of May suggests he may be starting to find his shooting boots.
If the marksman’s time in Florence is anything to go by, Juve’s number nine is never too far from finding the net and that won’t be any different for these Juventus vs Empoli predictions.
Vlahovic hit 24 goals in 36 matches. And despite his troubles, this term, 10 in 26 Serie A appearances is far from terrible. Vlahovic finding the net is the second of our Juventus vs Empoli tips.

Don’t expect a thriller with Juventus involved
Juventus rarely do their best work away from home. The 16 goals scored from 17 games showcase how Old Lady away days are often close affairs. So, if Vlahovic does the business, it may come in the shape of a slender Juve win.
At the other end, Allegri’s men have only conceded 14 strikes. Only Hellas Verona have overseen fewer goals when on the road in the Italian top-flight, making Under 2.5 Goals a real player here.
Empoli’s 14 goals scored at the Carlo Catellani ranks them fifth bottom for finding the net in front of home support. That, coupled with Juve’s penchant for keeping things tight, should see this selection go close.
