Fiorentina v Juventus

Fiorentina vs Juventus Preview

One of the most attractive fixtures in this weekend's slate of games in the Italian top flight features this upcoming Serie A clash between sixth placed Fiorentina and second placed Juventus when the two teams lock horns in Sunday afternoon's encounter at the Stadio Artemio Franchi with both sides eager to push their claims for a possible top four finish in this season's domestic top flight campaign.

Fiorentina head into this upcoming encounter having been handed back-to-back defeats though in the Italian top flight as the hosts have lost to Empoli and Lazio respectively in recent weeks which has resulted in Fiorentina's previously encouraging momentum being stalled and causing them to drop down to sixth place in the table.

Fiorentina had previously put together a solid looking five-match unbeaten run in Serie A which consisted of four wins and a draw, picking up important wins against Atalanta, Udinese, Cagliari and Napoli respectively, the latter being a particularly impressive 3-1 win on the road.

The hosts have also been dealt three defeats within their opening 10 league games this season though and they'll be up against a Juventus outfit who have collected three wins out of their last four matches overall, so the goals market may appeal here as five of Fiorentina's last 10 home games have resulted in both teams scoring.

Juventus have produced a solid and consistent start to this Serie A campaign as the visitors have suffered just the one defeat to date in their opening 10 league games while Massimilliano Allegri's side have also captured seven wins in the process, so they will be in confident mood as they prepare for this upcoming trip to the Stadio Artemio Franchi.

This encouraging start to this new season has helped lift the Old Lady into early contention for not only a possible top four finish in the table but may also perhaps place Juventus in the mix for a possible Scudetto title as well.

The bigger picture shows Juventus have been handed just three defeats out of their previous 17 matches overall in Serie A and having picked up 11 wins during this period, Juventus will fancy their chances of recording an important result here on Sunday afternoon.

However, results away from home have been less convincing as the Old Lady have won just five of their last 11 outings on their travels but having scored in nine of these 11 away games, the visitors look set to at least hit the back of the net in this upcoming fixture.

Fiorentina v Juventus Verdict

Fiorentina have scored at least once in 12 of their last 13 home games so the hosts also stand a good chance of notching here as the goals market looks the safest option for this clash.
