Juventus vs Empoli prediction 26.02.2025 | Coppa Italia

• Competition: Coppa Italia, Quarter Finals
• Date: Wednesday, 26th February, 2025
• Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CET
• Venue: Allianz Stadium (Turin)

On Wednesday evening, last year's Cup champions, Juventus, will welcome struggling Empoli in the Quarter Finals of the Coppa Italia at Allianz Stadium in Turin.

Juventus had its ups and downs throughout the season, but it seems they are simply not good enough to compete with the very best teams. They just suffered elimination by PSV from the Champions League 1/16 Finals and will focus only on the domestic competitions. The Old Lady are 4th in the Serie A with eight points from the first-placed Inter. However, considering they won four league games in a row, maybe they can make a push and close the gap.

Empoli were among the relegation candidates in the last three seasons since their return to the Italian top-flight division in the 2021/22 season. This season, after a fantastic start, "Azzurri Empolesi" looked like a team that would avoid the relegation battle. However, after that start, they were atrocious and are now in 18th place with 21 points from 26 rounds - two away from the safe zone. But in the Cup, they were good from the start, already eliminating two good Serie A teams - Torino and Fiorentina.

Juventus vs Empoli pick: Juventus to win and cover the -1.5 AH spread

It seems that Juventus are doing a much better job lately, as they have won five out of the last six matches. But that loss against PSV in the CL really ruined the impression of their good mini-run. Also, at home, they won three in a row, including the latest win against Inter (1:0).

Meanwhile, Empoli are in absolutely terrible form, winning only two points in the last 11 games! Lately, they were atrocious, losing four in a row while losing by two or more goals every time.

These teams met only about 20 days ago, and Juventus dominated the game, winning 4:1. Considering all the above, we expect a comfortable win for the Old Lady.
