Juventus - Fiorentina Prediction in Serie A

Overview

Juventus are still the only team with an unbeaten record in Serie A in the 2024-2025 season. However, the Bianconeri only have 31 points after 17 matches, mostly due to them drawing too many matches instead of being able to finish off their opponents to win all 3 points.

After 17 rounds, Juventus drew 10 matches, 3 more than the team with the second most draws in the tournament. However, they also promptly won against Monza in the match in round 17, thereby forgetting the disappointment of the previous draws.

The defense is the bright spot for coach Thiago Motta's team this season. They currently have the second best defense in the league, having only conceded 13 goals.

The number of 13 goals conceded is also the achievement that Fiorentina owns after 17 rounds in Serie A this season. The appearance of goalkeeper David De Gea helps Fiorentina's goal become much more solid.

Besides, Fiorentina also has quite similar statistics to Juventus, when they both have 31 points after 17 matches and are temporarily 1 place higher than Juventus on the rankings thanks to goal difference.

Juventus have won 37, lost 10 and drawn 18 of their previous 65 matches against Fiorentina. The Turin club have won the last three meetings, all of which ended 1-0.

Human resources situation

Juventus remain without Timothy Weah, Douglas Luiz, Arkadiusz Milik and Bremer, who are all on the injury list. Teun Koopmeiners remains doubtful after suffering a hamstring injury and could be replaced by Kephren Thuram.

On the other side of the pitch, Fiorentina have a fully fit squad, with Eduardo Bove the only absentee. Kean will once again lead the line alongside Lucas Beltran, while Luca Ranieri will feature at the heart of defence.

Expected lineup:

Juventus: Di Gregorio, Savona, Gatti, Kalulu, Cambiaso, Locatelli, Thuram, Gonzalez, Yildiz, Conceicao, Vlahovic.

Fiorentina: De Gea, Gosens, Ranieri, Comuzzo, Kayode, Adli, Cataldi, Sottil, Colpani, Beltran, Kean.
