This start to the season suggests significant progression for Empoli. If the team manages to maintain its form and avoid a defeat in the next match, it could consolidate a really promising start to the season. The improvement in the team’s performance is evident and, if they continue this positive trend, they could exceed expectations and secure a comfortable position in the table at the end of the season.

As for the last game, the one against Roma was a huge missed opportunity. After two impressive victories, the team arrived with the necessary momentum to position itself as the leader of Serie A, but it showed a lackluster and uncreative version. Despite attempts by players such as Vlahovic and Yildiz, the team was unable to generate enough danger, leaving a feeling of being wasted against a Roma in crisis.

The draw leaves Juventus with a mixture of frustration and disappointment, having dropped two points at home to a much-weakened opponent. Although the team has shown recent growth, this result shows that they still have to improve to consolidate their position at the top of the table. With a transitional season underway, this lack of decisiveness could become an obstacle to their title ambitions.
