HEAD-TO-HEAD Juventus have won all seven matches against Empoli between Serie A and the Italian Cup; the Bianconere have scored at least four goals in each of the last three meetings but conceded seven in the two most recent outings.
JUVE ON THE ROAD Juventus have won their last seven Serie A away games and could record their second longest streak of consecutive away victories in the tournament following on from that achieved in March 2018 (when they won the top nine).
GIRELLI & BONANSEA VS THE TUSCANS The first of Cristiana Girelli's two braces in the league this season came against Empoli last August. She has scored five goals whilst in the black and white jersey against the Tuscan side, doing only better against Tavagnacco and Verona (six). Meanwhile, two of the four goals Barbara Bonansea has scored this season in the league came against Empoli; in general, she has three goals against Empoli in the competition, but none have come whilst on the road.
GLIONNA IMPACT Benedetta Glionna, currently on loan from Juventus, scored a hat-trick in the quarter-final first leg of the Coppa Italia against Juventus last week. She now boasts at least one goal scored with the Juventus shirt and at least one against. The striker (5 goals in this league) is two goals from her best ever scoring season (seven in 2017/18, with Juve).
CORNER SCORERS Juventus have scored nine goals from a corner-kick in this Serie A season (at least five more than any other team in the tournament), but only one of the last nine goals scored by the Bianconere in the league have come from this situation. Empoli have only conceded once off a corner.
