Juventus needed a win to calm the atmosphere before the national team break and they did so during their visit to bottom club Empoli, who did not cause them any kind of problem (0-2). The ‘bianconeri’ are third in the Serie A table with 7 points, two behind Inter and Milan, the only two teams to have won all three games played.
