If Fiorentina – Juventus, scheduled for Sunday at 18:00, is played regularly, then, probably, it will already be a first global success, considering the very heavy flooding that is afflicting Tuscany. In that case, the match at the Franchi will be one of those not to be missed on a football Sunday of great interest in Serie A. Juventus is in fact called upon to redeem itself after the disaster of the 0-4 suffered by Atalanta and feels the pressure of the competitors on its current fourth place, minimum seasonal objective, evidently at risk. Among the possible contenders, in the event of a success, there would also be Fiorentina, which, consequently, has in a single match the possibility of alleviating many of the pains of the last few weeks that have seen it lose several points. A Viola success would mean moving to four points from the Bianconeri and still hoping but above all gaining in any case chances for any European position for next season. The pressure of the match, therefore, seems equally divided between Thiago Motta and Palladino because, if it is true that Juve with the close trio of PSV, Empoli, Atalanta has suffered three significant blows, Viola in the league has only one narrow and isolated success (the one against Lecce) in the midst of many recent defeats that, however, the passage of the round in the Conference League, for now, is not enough to heal.

Fiorentina's Shape and Key Stats

We mentioned the Viola's negative performance in the league, in the last period: 4 defeats in the last 5 games in Serie A are really a lot.

Fiorentina was saved, in the Conference League, thanks to the 3-2 over Panathinaikos which, however, was also the fourth success in the last 5 games played at home.

Fiorentina is currently in seventh place with a record of 13 wins, 6 draws and 9 defeats.

Juventus 's Shape and Key Stats

The 0-4 defeat suffered by Atalanta in the last round, is only the second KO in the league for Juventus but it makes a lot of noise and weighs not only on the possible fourth place but also on the stability of the group. For Juventus, the current period is one of great inconsistency: 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats in the last 5 games.

Away from home, in Serie A, Juve has so far collected 6 wins, 6 draws and 1 defeat.

In this panorama of not exceptional numbers, it should be remembered that, before the defeat against Atalanta, Juventus was the team in the best form in the championship with 5 consecutive victories.

Fiorentina - Juventus Prediction and Tactical Analysis

The certainty is that two teams will take to the field that will feel the pressure of this challenge, Fiorentina for the many recent defeats, Juventus for a defeat in the championship but which is added to the exit from the Cups. It is probable, therefore, that there will also be a bit of tactics and mutual caution in view of the match that assigns very important points and that, if lost, on one side or the other would really create a clear crisis. This is why the BetMines prediction algorithm more easily sees a contest with a maximum of two total goals.
