Juventus welcome Fiorentina to the Allianz Stadium on Sunday as they look to snap a poor run of results in Serie A. The Turin club will be counting on their home record and with La Viola often unconvincing on their travels, a win for the hosts could be expected here.
It has been a rough few weeks for Juventus, who have fallen away badly on the Serie A standings and are now 20 points off leaders Inter Milan. They have picked up just one win in their last nine Serie A matches and were beaten 1-0 by Lazio in their previous fixture.
Juventus got some revenge over Lazio in midweek and gave themselves a confidence boost with a 2-0 victory in the Coppa Italia semi-final first leg. Second half efforts from Federico Chiesa and Dusan Vlahovic were enough to give them the advantage.
The win over Lazio is part of a solid home record for Juventus, who have only lost once in front of their fans all season. Massimiliano Allegri’s men have also attempted to keep things tight at the back and have not been breached in their last two home matches in front of their fans.
Fiorentina were also victorious in the Coppa Italia and they edged to a 1-0 win over Atalanta in the semi-final first leg. Rolando Mandragora struck the only goal in the first half and they were able to hold on for the win.
La Viola were in desperate need of a confidence boost having picked up just one win from their last six Serie A matches. They were beaten 2-1 at home by AC Milan last time out in Serie A, leaving them 10th on the standings.
A major problem for Fiorentina is a poor record on their travels having picked up just one win from their last nine Serie A matches. Vincenzo Italiano’s men have suffered five defeats in that run and have also failed to score in five fixtures.
