The Old Lady missed out on European qualification last season because of sanctions but this season with the sanctions lifted they have made great progress in Serie A this season. Juventus are also in the semi-final of the Coppa Italia in a two-legged tie against Lazio. The hosts are currently third in the league after 30 games in played.

A defeat wouldn’t necessarily alter Juventus in the league table because they have a five-point advantage over Bologna in fourth place. The home side have accumulated 59 points from a possible 90 points available. This gives the home side an average of 1.96 points per game. Juventus can still mathematically win the Scudetto but realistically it’s an impossible task being 17 points behind Inter Milan.

Juventus’ overall record this season reads 17 wins, eight draws and five losses. On average they lose once every six games based on average. Managed by Massimo Allegri, this season they have been consistent in both areas of the pitch. In attack boasted by the talents of Dusan Vlahovic, Juventus have scored 44 goals in 30 games. This gives the Old Lady an average of 1.4 goals per game.

Defensively under Allegri, his reputation for being an astute tactician has reflective in the statistics. Juventus currently boast the second-best defensive record in the league behind league leaders Inter Milan. The hosts have conceded 24 goals in 30 games – providing them an average of 0.8 goals conceded.

Fiorentina are currently loitering in midtable as we approach the latter stages of Serie A. The away side are currently tenth after 29 games played, however a win away from Juventus could move them up to seventh if results go in their favour.

The visitors have produced inconsistent form this season, with an overall record of 12 wins, seven draws and ten losses from the 29 games played. Fiorentina have obtained 43 points so far this season and have averaged 1.48 goals per game.

The attacking side of the game has seen Fiorentina notch up 42 goals – an average of 1.44 goals per game. Defensively they’ve conceded 34 goals, an average of 1.1 goals per game.

Despite their inconsistencies in the league, Fiorentina have two routes into Europe next season. Although the league seems an unlikely option, the away side are still in the UEFA Conference League. Fiorentina will face Viktoria Plzen, with the winner of the competition qualifying for the UEFA Europa League.

The recent history between the two teams suggests that Juventus are the favourites for this game. Juventus have won three out of their last five games between the two teams, including the most recent game in November. Juventus won the game 1-0 thanks to a goal from Fabio Miretti.

Fiorentina’s last victory over Juventus took place in 2022. Goals from Alfred Duncan and Argentine international Nicolas Gonzalez ensured a 2-0 win.

Juventus are on a bad run of form in the last five games. The hosts for this game have only won once in their last five games and are on a run of four games without a win in the league.

In their most recent league game, they fell to a late defeat against Lazio. Juventus were on course for a point until Lazio snatched the win in the final moments. It was a disappointing performance by Allegri’s side, who only produced nine shots to Lazio’s 16 shots. Juventus conceded 65% possession in that game and were thoroughly outplayed.

Their most recent win was an action-packed encounter with Frosinone. Dusan Vlahovic opened the scoring within the first three minutes and then proceeded to double his tally either side of a comeback from Frosinone. Juventus left it very late and secured the victory thanks to a goal from Daniele Rugani in the 95th minute.

Vlahovic has been in tremendous form for the home side season. The Serbian striker has scored 15 goals in Serie A this season as well contributing four assists. He will face his former club in this game.

Fiorentina are on similar vein of form to their opponents having also won once in their last five games in all competitions. La Viola are also on a streak of three games without a win in Serie A having only obtained two points in that spell.

In their most recent league game, it was closely contested battle with AC Milan in which they eventually lost 2-1. Ruben Loftus-Cheek opened the scoring for Milan just after half-time, but Fiorentina immediately struck back thanks to a goal from Alfred Duncan. Rafael Leao immediately restored Milan’s lead minutes later as Fiorentina failed to find an equaliser late on.

The previous time Fiorentina won a game was against Lazio five league games ago. Giacomo Bonaventura and Michael Kayode both scored to give Fiorentina a well-deserved win over Lazio in a 2-1 shoreline.

Nicolas Gonzalez will be important to their chances in this game. The Argentine currently leads the Fiorentina scoring charts with seven goals this campaign.

We are going with a 2-0 win for Juventus in this game. Juventus 2-0 Fiorentina.
