The team was content with a draw in last week's encounter against Sampdoria. The Blues were able to do just that. Having conceded just halfway through the first half, Empoli created several chances in the second half, allowing Roberto Piccoli to level the scores on 90+3. With 1:1, Empoli has officially secured their place in Serie A for next season.
Juventus
Torino played their return leg against Sevilla in the Europa League semi-finals on Thursday. The team fought against the opposition and opened the scoring in 65 minutes, thanks to Dušan Vlahović. Previously, 1:0 for Juve was almost a guaranteed win. However, the Turi side is far from being as reliable in defense. After just six minutes from goal, Federico Chiesa made a mistake as he dropped the ball inside the penalty area, but Sevilla's Suso made a great long-range strike. It was 1:1, and the game went into extra time when Argentinian forward Erik Lamela netted the winning goal for Sevilla (1:2).
Between the Sevilla encounter, Juventus play a home game against Cremonese in the domestic league. The Bianconeri are confidently beating a modest 2:0 to secure second place in the standings.

Expert Betting Tips
After being relegated from the Europa League, Juventus' only chance of qualifying for the Champions League next season is to finish in the top four in the domestic championship. To guarantee that result, all the Turin side needs to do is beat Empoli in the upcoming match. The Blues FC completed their tournament goals in the previous fixture, so Juventus will be able to lose concentration at certain points, and Max Allegri's side will be able to take advantage of that. We're betting on Juve to win, and we also assume a low-scoring game, given that almost all of the Bianconeri's away games this season have been draws.
