Fiorentina v Juventus | Expected Lineup

Juventus return from the Netherlands to focus on Serie A action, with Luciano Spalletti’s side preparing for a Matchday 11 showdown against Fiorentina in Tuscany.

The match is scheduled for Sunday, November 8, with kick-off at 20:45 CET. The Bianconeri will be looking to build on their impressive 2-0 victory over Napoli and continue their positive momentum.

Juventus’ Dominance and Individual Records

This will be the 175th Serie A meeting between Fiorentina and Juventus. The Bianconeri have enjoyed the upper hand historically, recording 82 victories compared to Fiorentina’s 37, while the remaining 55 encounters have ended in draws.

Juventus are also closing in on a scoring milestone. With two more goals, they would draw level with Inter as the highest-scoring team against Fiorentina in Serie A history, currently trailing the Nerazzurri 275 to 277.

Defensively, Juventus have been particularly impressive, keeping 12 clean sheets since last March – more than any other Serie A side during that period.

Meanwhile, Kerim Alajbegovic could make history by becoming the first foreign player in Juventus’ history to score in consecutive top-flight matches before turning 20.

Randal Kolo Muani also has an impressive away record, with five of his last six Serie A goals coming on the road.

Fiorentina’s Defensive Problems

Fiorentina have collected just two points from their first five home league matches this season, recording two draws and three defeats. They have also conceded at least twice in nine of their 10 Serie A games, including each of their last five, averaging 2.3 goals against per match.

One more interesting statistic concerns Franco Mastantuono, who has attempted 38 shots in Serie A this season, with 11 on target. Only Nico Paz, Kylian Mbappé and Lamine Yamal have registered more attempts among players in Europe’s top five leagues.
