Juventus will try to secure all three points when Massimiliano Allegri's side squares off against Empoli in an Italian Serie A showdown on Saturday. Juventus is the most successful club in Serie A, winning the league title 36 times in its history, but is coming off a disappointing fourth-place finish last season. Empoli, meanwhile, topped the Serie B table a season ago and is looking to stay in Italy's top flight with a strong 2021-22 campaign. You can stream the match live on Paramount+.

Saturday's match gets underway at 2:45 p.m. ET. Juventus is the -400 favorite (risk $400 to win $100) on the money line in the latest Juventus vs. Empoli odds from Caesars Sportsbook. Empoli is a massive +1100 underdog, while a draw would return +490. The over-under for total goals is 3.5. This match will be streamed live on Paramount+ with their must-have Premium plan.

Italian Serie A picks for Juventus vs. Empoli

Before you tune in to Saturday's matchup, you need to see the Juventus vs. Empoli picks from European soccer insider Martin Green. After working in the sports betting industry for several years, Green became a professional sports writer and handicapper and has covered the game worldwide. Since then, his European soccer picks have been spot-on. Green has generated over $36,000 for $100 bettors since the 2017-18 season, and he has his finger on the pulse of the game all over the globe.

For Juventus vs. Empoli, Green is predicting Juventus to win by more than 1.5 goals at -145 odds. Juventus opened up a 2-0 lead against Udinese last weekend after Paulo Dybala and Juan Cuadrado fired in early goals. However, the Bianconeri were unable to secure the victory after two goalkeeping errors from Wojciech Szczesny handed Udinese a point.

Cuadrado led Juventus with 10 assists in league play last season, while Dybala had four goals and three assists in 2020-21. Forward Alvaro Morata is also a scoring threat whenever Juventus takes the pitch. The Spanish striker recorded 11 goals and nine assists for Juventus last season.

Empoli, meanwhile, struck first against Lazio, but the Blues gave up three first half goals, which led to a 3-1 defeat. Now, Aurelio Andreazzoli's side will have to travel to Turin to face a Juventus squad that's looking to make a statement on Saturday.

"Empoli looked slow and ponderous in defense, which does not bode well for a game against Cuadrado and Dybala," Green told SportsLine.
