Following on from the morale-boosting win over Torino, Juventus will have the chance of back-to-back league wins for the first time this season when they host Empoli at the Allianz Stadium.
However, Paolo Zanetti’s gang will not be easy prey for the Old Lady. After all, the Tuscan team includes some of the best hidden gems in Serie A.
So let’s take a closer look at three Empoli players who can deal some damage on Max Allegri’s side.
Guglielmo Vicario (Goalkeeper)
The Italian international might be the most underrated keeper in the league. The 26-year-old produces jaw-dropping saves on nearly every start he has.
Dusan Vlavovic will be looking to build on the momentum gained last weekend to add to his tally, but he won’t find it easy against Vicario.
Koni De Winter (Center Back)
Koni De Winter’s exploits this season are definitely big news for Juventus, but the Bianconeri are hoping to catch their ever-improving loanee on a bad night.
The Belgian is physically strong, imposing and fast. He just has all the makings of a first class defender.
Nedim Bajrami (Attacking midfielder)
The Albanian may not yet have displayed his mesmerizing performances from last season, but he remains Empoli’s greatest source of creativity.
In his day, the 23-year-old can wreak havoc on opposing defenses by operating in the gap. He can dribble past his marker, pick up teammates with clever plays or even go for the goal himself.
