Empoli – Juventus: This is going to be one more difficult game for Juventus which celebrates late wins, for example the one against Torino in its last game for the league, or late equalisers, for example the one against Gladbach in its last game for the Champions League, as results that reflect the team’s mediocre position so far this season. Empoli is as good at home (2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats) as it is away from home (2 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats).
Roma – Lazio: This is one of the ultimate derby games in the Serie A. Roma is sitting on the 3rd position of the table, just a point below Inter and Fiorentina which currently share the top of the table. It has had 4 wins and 1 draw in its 5 so far home games in the league, all of which ended as over 2.5 goals outcomes, scoring 15 goals in them (average 3 scored goals per game). Lazio is coming from 2 consecutive defeats in the league, the last one of which was from Milan with 1-3 at home, which ended the team’s record of 5 wins in its first 5 home games in the league.
Sassuolo – Carpi: Sassuolo’s performances this season have been superb, reflecting the fact that the team currently holds the 5th position of the table, 5 points below Inter and Fiorentina and the top of the table. It has had 3 wins and 2 draws in its 5 so far home games scoring in all of them. Carpi is sitting at the wrong end of the table with 1 win, 3 draws and 7 defeats in 11 games, conceding goals with relative ease while it has picked up just 1 point in its last 4 games. It should also be mentioned that Carpi has picked up just 1 point in its 5 so far away games in the league, conceding at least 2 goals per game in them.
