It has been a topsy-turvy season for Juventus this term and will be looking to put together a positive run when they host Fiorentina. Both teams have shown similar form lately and are likely to cancel each other out.
There has been a stark contrast between Juventus’ form in Serie A and the UEFA Champions League this season. While Massimiliano Allegri's men have won every match on the continent this term, they have struggled domestically and are currently ninth on the table.
Juventus will go into Saturday’s clash in high spirits after progressing to the round 16 of the Champions League following a 4-2 victory over Zenit St Petersburg. It was a welcome distraction from a three-match winless run in Serie A which includes a disappointing 2-1 defeat at Verona last time out.
Juventus’ recent problems can be attributed to a vulnerable backline that has conceded seven goals in their last four matches across all competitions.
Fiorentina travel to Juventus off the back of a 3-0 victory over Spezia in their previous Serie A fixture. They were barely troubled throughout the contest and secured the win thanks to a hat-trick from Dusan Vlahovic.
La Viola are playing better than they did last season but are still plagued by bouts of inconsistency. Vincenzo Italiano’s men have claimed three wins and suffered three defeats from their last six Serie A matches and are currently seventh on the table.
Like Juventus, defending has also been a problem for Fiorentina, particularly on the road where they have kept just one clean sheet in their last six matches.
