Coppa Italia, quarter-final, Wednesday, 2/26/2025 at 9:00 p.m.
I was able to present you with a successful tip for the last few matches of both teams. So stay tuned and read my Juventus Empoli tip for the Coppa Italia quarter-finals. It could be worth it again.
I expect a clear victory for the “Bianconeri” on Wednesday. Because the guests from beautiful Tuscany are in a more than gloomy mood.
The club has not won a game since mid-December and the spectre of relegation is now being seen more and more often in the club house.
The “Old Lady” won 1-0 against Cagliari last weekend, which I correctly predicted, and which was sorely needed after the unpleasant events in Eindhoven.
Dusan Vlahovic proved to be the match winner when he scored the only goal of the game early in the first half.
Since Kolo Muani joined Juventus, the “Bianconeri” have been on an upward trajectory again. The Serbian seems more motivated and determined on the pitch than before, which is no wonder given the increased competitive pressure.
I expect Thiago Motta to put his faith in his French new signing in the starting lineup again on Wednesday – but more on that later!
Incidentally, the Coppa Italia has become much more important to the “Bianconeri” since last week.
Since the team failed to make it past the round of 16 in the Champions League, this competition is the only way for them to win a title in the 2024/25 season.
However, the league is still the top priority, where the aim is to defend 4th place from Lazio and Florence until the end.
What will certainly please the fans, though, is that Juventus are the only Serie A club to have won all of their last four matches.
Empoli, on the other hand, have had a really tough time in recent weeks. The “Azzurri” suffered one of the highest defeats of the season in their 5-0 loss to Atalanta – as predicted in my successful prediction – which only underlined their potential for relegation.
They are simply not able to keep up with the teams in the upper half of the table and urgently need to improve their performance if they want to avoid relegation.
In my opinion, they are now the hottest candidate for relegation, and they will have a hard time celebrating victories against strong teams like Juventus in the future.
In 2025, not a single victory, two draws and six defeats, some of them extremely bitter? As we know, you won’t win any prizes south of the Alps with that record!
A glance at the head-to-head also shows that Empoli have rarely shone as guests in Turin. In the last 28 years, the “Azzurri” have only won once at the Allianz Stadium or Delle Alpi.
In the last away game so far, at the beginning of February, the EFC were again clearly beaten 1-4.
Incidentally, Kolo Muani scored twice on that occasion to celebrate his Serie A home debut for Juve, underlining how valuable he could become for the club in the future.
The Frenchman has established himself as a real striker for the “Old Lady” in recent games and could once again make the difference against Empoli.
Given his recent form and the history of past meetings, it’s worth taking a closer look at Muani.
With a goal scoring rate of 2.23, he’s a hot tip for me, especially considering how he’s already performed in his home debut against Empoli.
I expect him to score again in this game if he starts.
And don’t worry, on the Betano app you can specify that the bet is only valid if Muani is actually on the pitch from the start.
If Coach Motta decides at short notice to play Vlahovic as a striker, the bet will be canceled and you won’t take any risk.
A betting provider with PayPal would be my first stop this Wednesday if I had specific betting intentions.
Randal Kolo Muani is almost bound to score after his last appearance against Empoli.
“Juve win & Muani scores” is a little more lucrative at up to 2.55 on average and is therefore clearly preferable to a pure goal bet.
I can also imagine the “Old Lady” winning 1-0. This is currently rewarded with odds of around 1.85 in the betting markets.
And why not? After all, FC Empoli’s cumbersome-looking forward line has been waiting for a goal from its offensive department for 270 minutes of competitive play.
Conclusion: The hosts attach even more importance to the Coppa Italia than they did two weeks ago. With the arrival of Kolo Muani, the team has also become much more dangerous, and the Frenchman could score again against Empoli.
The Azzurri, on the other hand, are in freefall. After a painful 5-0 defeat to Atalanta, Empoli are likely to face another tough task in Turin.
Juve, meanwhile, are in top form and will be desperate to secure a place in the semi-finals at home. The away team will therefore have to work hard to avoid another bitter defeat here…
My Juventus Empoli tip: Half Time/Full Time 1/1.
