Juventus are involved in Monday night action this week, taking on an Empoli side who they comfortably defeated 4-0 in the reverse fixture at the Allianz Stadium back in October.
Looking to complete the double and finish the season on a strong note, Mister Allegri and his charges enjoy a favourable record at the Carlo Castellani Stadium, where they will look to secure another three points to cement second place on the Serie A table.
Below are several pre-match statistics that may be of interest ahead of the 20:45 CEST kick-off:
TOUGH ASK | Empoli have won just one of their last 19 Serie A matches against Juventus, drawing two while suffering 16 defeats.
SET PIECE SKILLS | Juventus have scored 11 goals from corners this season, fewer only than Napoli (17). In total, 39% of the Bianconeri’s league goals have come from set pieces, a record percentage in Serie A this campaign (21/54).
EMPOLI EX-S | Leandro Paredes made 33 appearances and scored twice for Empoli in the 2015/16 Serie A season, while Daniele Rugani played his first 38 games in Serie A for Empoli in the 2014/15 campaign, starting every game and never receiving a booking.
KEEN KEAN | Moise Kean has scored in all three of the Serie A games he has played against Empoli, who are his favourite victim in Italy’s top-flight.
MISTER MAGIC | Massimiliano Allegri has won 10 of the 11 games (one draw) he has coached against Empoli, the side against which he enjoys his highest personal win rate (91%). Juventus have won all five away games against Empoli with Mr Allegri in the dugout.
