Fiorentina vs Juventus preview, prediction, team news, and head-to-head

With the international break over, the home team will be in a hurry to get its first win of the season after playing 11 matches in this campaign. Meanwhile, Juventus will be hoping to maintain their winning run into this fixture.

Only two teams are winless in the Serie A, and Fiorentina is one of them. La Viola comes into this clash in full-blown crisis mode. They’re at the bottom of the Serie A table with just 5 points from 11 games (D5, L6) and still hunting for their first win of the season.

The coming of a new manager will be in hopes that he can turn things around and improve the team's performance.

Juventus are also struggling, but they are in much better shape. Despite some stumbles, they remain solid at the back. The initial poor form led the club to fire their former coach, Igor Tudor and replace him with a new coach, Luciano Spalletti.

The goalless draw at home against Torino before the break is a wake-up call for The Old Lady. They have to be more decisive in front of the goal if they really want to finish in the top four in the table by the end of the season.

The Serie A rivalry between Fiorentina and Juventus is always intense. In their last five league meetings, the visitors have been triumphant in three of those matches. (D1, L1). However, Fiorentina were victorious in a 3-0 thrashing in this same stadium last season.

One consistent result between these two teams is that Juventus always find a way to score. They have scored at least one goal in their last six meetings.

Fiorentina boss Paolo Vanoli will be missing key players like Robin Gosens, Christian Kouamé, and Tariq Lamptey due to injuries. Veteran striker Edin Dzeko could make history by becoming the oldest player to ever score for Fiorentina in Serie A if he finds the net on Saturday.

On the Juventus side, coach Luciano Spalletti is dealing with a shaky backline as Bremer, Daniele Rugani, Carlo Pinsoglio, and Arkadiusz Milik are all ruled out. Star striker Dusan Vlahovic will likely start, despite minor complaints which we believe will not stop him from playing.

Rising star Kenan Yıldız will be one to watch. He has already created 24 chances and taken 26 shots this season, and could be key to unlocking Fiorentina’s defence.

Florentina (3-4-2-2): De Gea; Pongracic, Mari, Ranieri; Caviglia, Dodo, Nicolussi, Mandragora; Sohm, Fortini; Gudmundsson, Kean

Juventus (3-4-2-1): Di Gregorio; Gatti, Kalulu, Koopmeiners; McKennie, Locatelli, Thuram, Cambiaso; Conceicao, Yildiz; Vlahovic

Even though Juventus are still finding their rhythm under new management, their solid defence and deadly set-piece skills could be the difference in this clash. Meanwhile, Fiorentina are still searching for their first win and struggling to stop conceding goals.

With all the heat this rivalry brings, bettors on Livescorebet can either stake on the goal market or back Juventus to win the match. The odds on most bookies also favour the away team to have the edge.
