Juventus-Fiorentina is a match of the thirty-first day of Serie A and is played on Sunday at 8:45 p.m.: odds, predictions, live TV, streaming.
It was Vlahovic and Chiesa, the two big exes of the challenge with Fiorentina, who put a smile back on Massimiliano Allegri’s face in the Coppa Italia semifinal first leg with Lazio. The two players who grew up in the purple youth sector and cost a total of about 120 million euros, allowed Juventus to win the first round with the biancocelesti (2-0), thus avenging the defeat suffered three days earlier at the Olimpico, which was decided by a header from Marusic in mid-recovery (1-0).
The Lady thus ended the fast of victories that lasted since last February 25 (more than a month) and mortgaged the finalissima, where – ironically – they could face the team of Vincenzo Italiano, who in the other semifinal got the better of Atalanta, bent by a eurogoal of Mandragora (1-0). The Bianconeri, who were good at taking advantage of two mistakes by the Lazio defense, which was chastened on the counterattack, must now turn the page in the league as well, where the situation has become worrisome. Since the end of January, they have beaten only Frosinone. And in addition to being overtaken by Milan, they are also in danger of being overtaken by Bologna, which has moved to -2. The Viola, last Saturday, sinned as usual in cynicism against Milan (1-2) and a good overall performance was not enough to avoid defeat to the Rossoneri, even slipping to 10th place (with one match to spare). Europe becomes more distant every week. And that is why, as was the case last year, Fiorentina may turn its attention to the cups (Coppa Italia and Conference League).
Against Atalanta, meanwhile, we witnessed one of the best seasonal versions of the lily-headed lineup, which would have deserved to win by a larger margin. Preventing them from doing so was a monumental Carnesecchi.
Juventus-Fiorentina: the latest lineup news
Allegri seems inclined to limit the turnover, confirming the lineup that beat Lazio on Tuesday. In attack should play the two exes of the match, Chiesa and Vlahovic, with the son of art immediately recovered from the flu. The only ballots are those between Danilo and Rugani and in defense and between Iling and Kostic on the left.
Predicted many changes instead in the Viola, which will be back on the field next Thursday to face the Czech Viktoria Plzen. Italiano in defense will field Dodò, Martinez Quarta and Biraghi while in the midfield could see Arthur, another former player of the match, again. Belotti forced into overtime in attack.
The prediction
Both have been busy this week in the Coppa Italia, expending a lot of energy. The success against Lazio, however, may have been a spur for a Juventus side that has given no guarantees in the past two months, even at home. The Bianconeri, in any case, remain favorites against a Viola side that has lost 11 of the last 12 games played at Allianz Stadium (in 4 of the last 6, Juve’s goal has also remained inviolate). Again, we could see an unprolific match, taking into account the fact that Fiorentina struggles to materialize. And that away from home they have scored only 15 goals.
The probable formations of Juventus-Fiorentina
JUVENTUS (3-5-2): Szczesny; Gatti, Bremer, Danilo; Cambiaso, McKennie, Locatelli, Rabiot, Kostic; Chiesa, Vlahovic.
FIORENTINA (4-2-3-1): Terracciano; Dodò, Martinez Quarta, Ranieri, Biraghi; Arthur, Duncan; Nico Gonzalez, Beltran, Sottil; Belotti.
POSSIBLE RESULT: 1-0
