Fiorentina vs Juventus a challenging trip to Tuscany this Sunday in Serie A’s Matchday 29. The highly anticipated clash kicks off at 18:00 CET, with both teams eager to secure vital points. Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the encounter.

Head to head Fiorentina vs Juventus

This will mark the 172nd Serie A meeting between Fiorentina and Juventus, with the Bianconeri winning 82 times and drawing 54.

Juventus have recorded the most victories (82) and goals (274) against Fiorentina in Serie A history.

The teams played out a 2-2 draw in their last encounter on December 29. If Sunday’s match also ends in a draw, it would be the first time since the 2010/11 season that both league fixtures between them ended level.

Juventus have avoided defeat in seven of their last eight league meetings with Fiorentina, securing four wins and three draws.

The Bianconeri have found the net in the first half of each of their last five matches against Fiorentina.

Fiorentina have lost more home Serie A games against AC Milan (27) than against any other team, but Juventus follow closely with 24 victories in Florence.

Notable trends & Records

Fiorentina have not drawn any of their last eight league matches, winning four and losing four. However, their average points per game over the last 14 fixtures is just one.

Juventus have not suffered consecutive league defeats since February 2024.

The Bianconeri are on a two-match winning streak away from home (against Como and Cagliari) and could secure three consecutive away victories for the first time since late 2023 to early 2024.

Key players

Dusan Vlahovic is on the verge of a milestone, with 99 goal contributions in Serie A (86 goals, 13 assists). However, in five matches against his former club Fiorentina, he has yet to score or assist—a record he has only matched against Monza.

Randal Kolo Muani found the net in both of his first two away starts for Juventus. If he scores again, he will join Patrick Vieira and David Trezeguet as the only players to score in their first three away starts for Juventus in the era of three points per win.

Pierre Kalulu boasts the highest average number of touches per 90 minutes this Serie A season (97.3), among players with at least 15 appearances.

Kenan Yildiz is one goal away from equaling Moise Kean’s record (seven) for the most Serie A goals scored for Juventus before turning 20 in the modern three-points-per-win era.

And to Fiorentina … Moise Kean has netted 15 Serie A goals this season. If he surpasses 15, he will become the first Italian since Giuseppe Rossi (16 in 2013/14) to achieve this for Fiorentina in a single league campaign.

Kean could also become just the third Fiorentina player to score in both of his first two Serie A appearances against Juventus in the three-points-per-win era, following Josip Iličić (2015) and Giampaolo Pazzini (2005).

Albert Gudmundsson scored his first-ever Serie A goal against Juventus while playing for Genoa on May 6, 2022. He has since scored twice against the Bianconeri—his joint-best record against any Serie A opponent.
