Empoli Team News
In previous years, Empoli walked from Serie A to Serie B and vice versa. Last year, they took 14th place in the Italian championship, and according to everything, it will be the same this year, considering that three rounds before the end of the competition, they are in that position with 39 points won from 35 games played.
The team’s primary goal was to stay in the league, and Paolo Zanetti’s team succeeded in that since nine points separated them from the relegation zone. In the last round, they drew 1:1 in Genoa with the last-placed squad on the table, Sampdoria, but they reached that draw only in the final moments of the match when Roberto Piccoli managed to level the score in the 93rd minute and bring a point to his team.
In the first part of the season, they suffered a convincing defeat against Juventus in Turin with a score of 4:0. If we look at the history of the matches between these two clubs, everything indicates that Empoli will have a hard time getting a favorable result against the Old Lady on Monday.

Juventus Team News
Juventus will go without a trophy this season after being eliminated by Sevilla in the second leg of their Europa League semi-final in Spain on Thursday. At the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan stadium, the Bianconeri had the lead from the 65th minute, brought to them by the Serbian representative Dusan Vlahovic.
But the joy was short-lived because Suso equalized six minutes later and sent his team into overtime. In the rest of the game, Erik Lamela scored to give the Andalusians a 2:1 lead, which after 120 minutes of play, was enough for the incredible Sevilla to advance to the new Europa League final.
In Serie A, three rounds before the end, Juventus is in second place with 69 points, and Inter, Lazio, and Milan closely follow them. Massimiliano Allegri’s team will have to win all three points in the next away game to secure their position until the end of the competition.
