Fiorentina vs Juventus | Preview & Expected Lineup

Fiorentina vs Juventus meet in Florence with both clubs desperate for improvement. Each side has already changed managers and opened the season below expectations. Fiorentina remain winless after eleven Serie A matches, despite a recent 2-2 draw under new coach Paolo Vanoli.

His arrival ended a damaging three-match losing run, but the team still sits at the bottom. One victory could pull them out of the relegation zone, yet that step feels elusive.

Home form offers little comfort for Fiorentina. They have lost four of their five league matches at Stadio Artemio Franchi this season. Their latest defeat, a narrow 1-0 loss to Lecce, ended a ten-game scoring streak on home soil.

The team also shows persistent first-half issues. Fiorentina have conceded six first-half home goals, matching the league’s highest total. Slow starts have shaped their position, and they often face uphill battles by the break.

Juventus search for consistency under Spalletti

Juventus return to Florence after seven turbulent months marked by three coaching changes. Luciano Spalletti is unbeaten across his first three games, but two draws show their ongoing inconsistency.

A goalless derby before the international break highlighted their current challenges. Juventus have won only two of their last twelve competitive fixtures, which creates pressure despite their top-six position.

Their away record also raises concerns. Juventus have managed one win from their last six away matches. Scoring troubles deepen the issue, as they failed to score in three of their last four away games.

Their fixture history with Fiorentina adds another layer. Fiorentina won 3-0 here in March, but that was their first victory in six meetings. Only one of the last five clashes saw both teams score.

Several individual stories may shape the match. Albert Guðmundsson scored early against Genoa last round, yet most of his recent goals came after half-time.

Khéphren Thuram remains a strong starter, often opening Juventus’ scoring when he finds the net. Fiorentina expect Moise Kean to return after missing international duty, while Juventus travel without Gleison Bremer.
