THE LOWDOWN
FIORENTINA
Last season, under the management of Vincenzo Italiano, Fiorentina reached but then lost in both finals of the Coppa Italia and the UEFA Europa Conference League. They lost some key players over the summer, such as Igor Julio and Sofyan Amrabat, but have kept most of the squad intact as they aim for a top four finish.
I Viola come into this on the back of a dramatic 1-0 defeat away to Lazio last week, in which they conceded from a 96th minute penalty. That loss was their second in a row in Serie A as they begin to slip away from the UEFA Champions League spots and their fluency in attack is something that has clearly been stifled.
JUVENTUS
Juventus went through quite a few issues last year off the field with points deductions seeing them finish seventh – and then get disqualified from the UEFA Europa Conference League anyway. This season, they have had to deal with a ban to Nicolo Fagioli for illegal betting and one to Paul Pogba for doping.
However, with Massimiliano Allegri still in charge in his second spell, The Old Lady have remained typically resilient in the league; albeit tedious to watch – as is often the case with Allegri’s Juve. They have suffered just one defeat in their opening ten matches so far this season, despite scoring just 16 goals so far.
THE TEAM NEWS
FIORENTINA
Fiorentina’s Gaetano Castrovilli has returned to some light training whilst I Viola still have a few definite absentees with both Michael Kayode and Dodo out injured.
PREDICTED XI (4-2-3-1): Terracciano; Parisi, Martinez Quarta, Milenkovic, Biraghi; Arthur, Duncan; Gonzalez, Bonaventura, Ikone; Beltran
UNAVAILABLE: Kayode (Injured), Dodo (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Castrovilli (Injured)
JUVENTUS
Juventus have a couple of suspended midfielders for non-football reasons such as Paul Pogba and Nicolo Fagioli and they are also without Timothy Weah, Danilo and Mattia De Sciglio.
PREDICTED XI (3-5-2): Szczesny; Gatti, Bremer, Rugani; Chiesa, McKennie, Locatelli, Rabiot, Kostic; Kean, Vlahovic
UNAVAILABLE: Pogba (Suspended), Fagioli (Suspended), Weah (Injured), Danilo (Injured), De Sciglio (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Alex Sandro (Injured)
THE PREDICTION
This is a rivalry that is now three decades old and it can be quite fierce, both on and off the pitch, when these two teams meet. Fiorentina are in poor form and have struggled for attacking threat in their defeats against both Lazio and Empoli. They face a Juventus side that are playing in an extremely typical manner so both teams are likely just going to frustrate each other. Given that, a low-scoring encounter with under 2.5 or under 3.5 goals is to be expected.
BETTING TIP: UNDER 2.5 GOALS
