Juventus can go seventh in the 2022-23 Serie A standings when they host Empoli on Friday. Maximiliano Allegri's men enjoyed a narrow 1-0 derby win over Torino last time out after a shock 3-1 Champions League defeat to Maccabi Haifa. Empoli will be aiming to extend their unbeaten run to three games.
The hosts will be looking to utilise their games against Empoli and Lecce to build some momentum in the domestic circuit while they sit third in Champions League group, with two remaining games against Benfica and PSG.
Meanwhile, Paolo Zanetti may be hoping for another early goal after seeing his team score first and then soak up the pressure in the win over Monza after scoring first.

Juventus team news and squad
Paul Pogba has returned to training but Allegri remarked it would be 'pure madness' to rush the Frenchman back from his knee injury.
Meanwhile, Federico Chiesa is stepping up his recovery from a cruciate ligament injury, with Mattia De Sciglio, Marley Ake, Angel Di Maria and Kaio Jorge also out of action on Friday.
Bremer is a doubt after a thigh problem in the Torino game so Leonardo Bonucci will step in the middle of Allegri's three-man backline. Filip Kostic is likely to retain his place as the left full-back.
