The possible lineup of Juventus against Empoli for matchday 22 of Serie A

The Italian Serie A is more exciting than ever, since in the run-up to the start of matchday 22, which will begin this Friday, January 26, 2024, Juventus is the sole leader of the competition with 52 points, one more than its immediate pursuer Inter, a team that has one game less than its rival, so it could catch up or even surpass it.

However, those led by Massimiliano Allegri must continue their path no matter what the recent champion of the Italian Super Cup does, and will want to continue their good streak when they host Empoli, on Saturday, January 27 starting at 2:00 p.m. Argentine time , 11:00 a.m. Mexico time and 6:00 p.m. Spain time.

Juventus comes from winning its previous match against Lecce, with a score of 3-0 and with a double included by Dusan Vlahovic. The home team is undefeated in the last 4 games of the current season. In those matches, he scored 11 goals in favor and 2 on his own goal.
