Empoli will face Napoli, we expects a very tough game because both clubs have been really outstanding this season, although it's still consider early for these clubs about predicting the clubs that will win the scudetto, the ones that will qualify for top four and the ones that will be relegated. These clubs are eventually stimulating epic game strategy and also having a long pressing momentum this season. Empoli stats this season have been really improving, they're 10th position on the Seria A table and we expects more impressive outcome to be triggered for such competitive club. Empoli headcoach, Roberto D'Aversa is doing a great job but he just have to improve his stats because his pre-eminent rivals are big hurdles for him this season.

Except for this season, in the past two seasons, Juventus haven't been of such form to give them enough trust to believe they will be having an actual tough play against a certain team but with Lazio its been different as they have been able to maintain an average performance all along and they cannot be seen as weak or too strong, in essence I'm saying I'm yet to trust the consistency of Juventus just yet such that i will be bale to conform strong to thinking they will be able to be a good opponent against Lazio.

I am super excited for that match. That match will be good competition because both teams are trying to be good competitor. Juventus football team has more possibility of win and their past performance is good and they they can win this match . They have to play with confidence if they want to be lucky winner of this match. They should work on the things in which they lack but that team has also some defects in which they should work . Captain of that team should gather the players and coaches and he should take decisions fir that match and they have to make good plan if they want to win this match one sided. Lazio team is also not bad and they can do anything in any situation because players and captain combination is  Osum and we will focus on the game of both teams.

Yes, Empoli is worth considering at this time. Although not so prominent in defeating strong teams, Empoli's performance is quite consistent at the beginning of this season. In addition to holding Juventus to a draw, Empoli also managed to beat Torino in the Italian Cup. Torino is also a fairly strong team at this time. Empoli should have enough strength to compete with Napoli in the upcoming match. Napoli and Empoli have both only received 1 defeat this season. and I hope the match will be interesting.

It is actually very difficult to predict the match between Juventus versus Lazio, because there is a possibility that this match will end in a draw. In the 7 matches that have been played, Thiago Motta squad has been forced to draw by Cagliari, Napoli, Empoli and AS Roma, even though they only conceded one goal. This indicates that their front line is very blunt, pushing Federico Chiesa to leave without recruiting players with comparable quality is a mistake. Therefore, I tend to assume that Lazio can steal 1 point, altought playing away.

We know that both teams are very ambitious to secure full points, because they are trying to confirm their respective positions in the top four of the standings. I think AC Milan will benefit if the match between Juventus versus Lazio really ends in a draw, but on the condition that AC Milan must be able to beat Udinese. The preparations of both teams have certainly been very optimal, by taking advantage of the momentum of the international break. However, Thiago Motta must find a solution in determining his starting XI, because currently several key players are injured.

But with results like that, it is at least a concern for the seeded teams who will play against Empoli later. Because anyway, so far Empoli has only suffered one defeat against Lazio and in fact, even though Empoli lost but the final score was only 2-1 and it was not a crushing defeat either. Indeed,  Empoli is a team that only struggles in the middle of the standings but if so far Empoli has managed to get a draw more often than winning and losing, then it is a sign that Empoli at this moment cannot be underestimated at all. Indeed, Empoli managed to draw Juventus but as far as I know, that Juventus are also still not consistent enough so it might be natural if Empoli managed to draw Juventus. But even so, for other teams should be careful not to underestimate Empoli at  this moment.

In several matches that Empoli has played, they has actually shown an impressive game and their solid defense has actually become a nightmare for the opponents team that plays at empoli home, so far Empoli is still undefeated at home and uniquely they also not conceded a single goal when playing at home, Empoli which we know as a mid-table team today is actually the second team that has the smallest conceded ratio after Juventus,  So it is undeniable that if the match later we will see the team that has the sharpness in scoring goals (Napoli) will meet the best defensive team (Empoli) in Serie A this season, the match I think will be a real test for Conte to maximize his attackers to be able to get 3 points, because if they fail to beat Empoli in the match, of course Intermilan who may be able to get 3 points over Roma in other matches will coup the top of the standings from their later.

Empoli team is not that good because if they had been more fierce they should have make a difference on the table and besides there last two matches was a one draw and a win against them, though in consideration of advantage Lazio has one but that was not the case on that because there was a lot of loopholes from Lazio that was supposed to turn out beneficial for the Empoli but nothing was done and from the one goal they were leading into losing 2:1 against them, there previous match with Fiorentina is the one I can say that they tried because Fiorentina implement all the method they can but could not break through even with all the possession, Empoli still hold on to there defense position. Since Empoli has been trying to prove a high interception against any club coming to there home, so let's predict what will happen to them against inter that will be played on the 30th of October.

Anything is possible indeed but we also have to look at the overall strength of these two teams and indeed Napoli and Empoli are two teams with different strengths, so I think Napoli has a greater percentage to win the match later especially since they are currently in a positive trend which of course makes their confidence much better.

Conte has so far been quite successful in changing or making Napoli's performance much better and that has been proven and regarding Lukaku I think it still can't be a differentiator but indeed all the players in the Napoli squad are currently playing quite well organized in all lines so that we see the distribution of quality in the Napoli team.

When Empoli played well when playing at home it was the compactness of the Empoli squad this season, several big clubs were not able to defeat them, it is true that Juventus and Fiorentina were powerless playing at Empoli's home, Napoli must be careful in the next match because anything can happen because defeat does not look at how many top players are in their squad if the defeat will befall the club then it will not be easy to avoid the fate of defeat and bad days.

Empoli in my opinion isn't on the same level with Napoli so predicting this particular fixture shouldn't be a big deal of you ask me. After Napoli's poor and unsuccessful defense of the league title last season, I wasn't expecting Antonio Conte's arrival to have such a fast positive effect we've seen in the Napoli team this season but because the Italian manager is very experienced in what he does, Napoli are now the best performing team in the Italian league this season. Playing away against Empoli I think gives the host a little chance of getting a result from the game but I think the visitors Napoli will take all three points from the game

Yes, if you look at the quality of the current Juventus coach (Thiago Motta), you could say he is quite a great coach. So he certainly knows more about Juventus' current shortcomings, but maybe Motta needs time and a good strategy to be able to fix all the problems that exist at Juventus. Therefore, sooner or later Juventus' performance will definitely return to normal and good again. Apart from that, I personally would be quite regretful if for example Pogba really moved from Juventus, because in essence Juventus definitely needs Pogba's abilities. But what can you do, if for example Pogba is no longer a priority at Juventus. The reason is that from the news circulating, it seems that Motta will not include Pogba in the Juventus squad. Because if you look deeper, Juventus currently has quite good midfielders too. One of these players is Douglas Luiz and also Thuram. Maybe because of that, Pogba's position will most likely be marginalized at Juventus. However, we need to remember again, the news currently circulating is just rumors. So it is very likely that Pogba can still be retained by Juventus, perhaps with several policies such as reducing his salary. The reason is that it cannot be denied that Pogba's salary at Juventus is quite large. So if Juventus keeps him, maybe Pogba's salary will be reduced.

Yes, but if we look at the statistics of these games, we will see that Juventus and Fiorentina were superior to their opponents and the only reason they managed to draw in these matches was a good defensive game. The same 0:0 result was in the match with Monza, but Napoli's attack looks very good now and I think they can score against Empoli away. Conte understands that they cannot lose points, Inter is close and any loss can lead to the loss of their position.

When Empoli play at their own home, they are indeed difficult to beat. Even Juventus and Fiorentina this season also failed to beat Empoli in the match which was held at Empoli's home ground. Juventus and Fiorentina were held to a draw by Empoli at the Carlo Castellani stadium. And it could be that in the match against Napoli we will see Empoli succeed in holding the guests who visit their headquarters to a draw.

But I expect a lot from Conte this season. Because we have seen Napoli return to their best performance thanks to Conte. Now Napoli have even managed to be at the top of the rankings with a difference of 2 points from 2nd place. And I am sure Conte will try to maintain that position. And that way Napoli must succeed in beating Empoli in the next match.

Yes, of course Napoli should not underestimate Empoli, especially as you say they are not beaten while playing at home. Empoli can make a surprise in this battle if Napoli underestimated Empoli, but I think Conte is not the type of coach who underestimated his opponent, he would definitely do the best that was his opponent. In addition, this victory is very important to stay firm at the top of the standings.

The presence of Lukaku in Napoli made Conte's squad almost perfect this season. You can say that so far Conte and Lukaku, a partner whose registration can make Lukaku sharper this season with Napoli, this is proven Lukaku currently managed to provide 4 assists and goals 3 in 7 matches. It seems that not only Lukaku whose performance has improved, even Napoli, who have difficulty penetrating the top, at least at least at the beginning of this season.

The possibility of a draw is always there. Moreover, Juventus' current condition still seems to be having difficulty improving the sharpness of their attack line. But I hope both teams succeed in scoring goals in this match. because goalless matches are always quite boring to watch. I don't know, I always feel like that when I see a goalless match. And regarding my predictions about this match, I think Juventus will win the match even though it is by a narrow score.

A match that is no less interesting in Week 8 of Serie A is Roma's match against Inter Milan. I think Roma will really face a very big challenge in this match amidst the inconsistency they have had this season.

Indeed, under the new coach this season, Juventus has made significant changes, even Thiago Motta as the coach dared to release some of his star players such as Federico Chiesa who was sold to Liverpool. However, in a big club, losing a star player will clearly have an impact both technically and psychologically. The match against Lazio is clearly a tough opponent that Juventus will face, especially since Lazio will play at home and of course it is not easy to beat Lazio at home. This is a tough job for Thiago Motta and of course Juventus wants to win in order to be in first place in the standings, especially since Juventus and Lazio currently have the same points in the standings.

The steps taken by the Juventus team in this case were actually very appropriate even though in terms of quality the players who were released were very good players. However, we can see that Juventus also did not have much difficulty this season when they had to release one of the players like Paul Pogba because Juventus is not a team that only cares about one player. And for the next match, it will also be quite crucial for Juventus because they will host Lazio who is currently right below Juventus' position in the top four. So Juventus must be able to win this match if they want to maintain their position or want to take a much better position if Inter loses in the next match at Roma's home.

Vlahovic is far from a super star player quality, it's true to say he is a star player, but not true to say he is a super star player. In this season, Juventus started with not too good attacking system and Vlahovic is their main attacking player and goal source so his importance in Juventus is big.

I really see very small probability that Juventus will satisfy Vlahovic's demand on a new contract from its length to salary. This club is smart in finance and they let Dybala leaving because of his salary demand, and replace him with Vlahovic. Now, it's turn of Vlahovic to leave Juventus if they fail to have agreement in new salary for Vlahovic in a new contract.

It seems there is unexpected news about Dušan Vlahović the superstar player of Juventus. Vlahović had a perfect performance in his team and he was the reason for his team scored goals in many games na to be honest without this player they could not have won many games.
This made Juventus to try extending the contract of Vlahović for a long time since his current contract will expire in the summer of 2026 and after that, Vlahović can leave Juventus. But Vlahović didn't accept to extend his contract.
It seems now Juventus is going to put Vlahović for sale before his contract ends and that's how they can earn some money from Vlahović.
