It’s the return of the national championships. For this 4th day of Serie A, Thiago Motta’s Juventus travels to the Empoli pitch this Saturday evening (6:00 p.m.). A match that can allow the Turinese to continue their march forward.
Second in the standings with 7 points, tied with leaders Inter Milan and Torino, Thiago Motta’s men are still unbeaten at the start of the season. The Old Lady has not conceded a single goal since the restart (6 goals scored and 0 goals conceded). A victory would allow them to get back on track with the clash on their pitch against AS Roma (0-0).
Opposite, Empoli is also unbeaten since the start of the season. The Italians are in 7th place with 5 points on the board (1 win and 2 draws). A positive result against one of the favorites in this championship is clearly the objective.

Author of a double during the second day but silent against AS Roma, Dusan Vlahovic will shake the nets against Empoli. The Serbian striker will be a real poison for the opposing defense and will gain confidence before the first day of the Champions League against PSV Eindhoven on Tuesday 17.
