Quotes
“The two areas are something that concerns the whole team, both not creating chances and struggling to score them," Juventus manager Thiago Motta said after his side's draw with Empoli.
"It was a bit better in the second half, we still had a few chances, we return home with a point, it's not the result we wanted, but the performance was still good, at this moment in time.
"We need to move forward and grow on this path."
Head-to-Head
Napoli claimed a 2-1 win over Juventus in their last meeting in the league which was on 3 March 2024 at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
