Juventus have the better record
📊 Fiorentina and Juventus have met 44 times in recent years, with the Turin side holding the upper hand. The Old Lady have 23 wins to Fiorentina’s eight, while another 13 matches ended in draws. Last season, however, Fiorentina made life difficult for their illustrious opponents, taking points off them in both meetings. The Florence side first drew at home (1:1), then beat Juventus convincingly away (2:0).
Head-to-head statistics Fiorentina - Juventus

Fiorentina end prolonged slump
16th place in the Serie A table - that is Fiorentina’s current reality. As last season, the Florence side have made a very poor start to the league campaign, dropping plenty of points even against opponents who are far from the strongest. After ten rounds, the Viola have just eight points, which falls well short of the club’s ambitions. They have also spent time in the relegation zone and only climbed out of the bottom three thanks to a win in the previous round. It is still too early to say they are fully out of the crisis, however, as Fiorentina’s position in the table remains very concerning.
Last week, Fiorentina secured a vital 4-2 win over Sassuolo, who are also in the lower reaches of the table. The Viola did so away from home, producing one of their best performances of the season. Despite being the visitors, the Florence side did not sit back in defence: they attacked from the opening minutes and regularly created dangerous chances. They finished with almost twice as many shots as their opponents and deservedly took all three points.

Juventus return to winning ways
Juventus have also struggled to get going at the start of this season. The Turin side cannot find consistency, regularly drop points and have yet to live up to their supporters’ expectations. After ten rounds, the Old Lady sit only seventh in the table with 17 points. Their position could have been even worse had they not managed to beat Napoli at home in the previous round (2:0). The win did not come easily, but it allowed Juventus to improve their league position slightly and stay in touch with the leading group.
A recent 2:1 Europa League win over AZ Alkmaar should also give the Turin side added confidence. In midweek, the Old Lady travelled to the Netherlands to face a difficult opponent. However, the visitors had an excellent first half, scoring twice and going into the break with a comfortable lead. Juventus eased off noticeably in the second half, focusing on protecting their lead. That caution nearly caused problems: towards the end, the Turin side’s defence faltered, allowing AZ Alkmaar to pull a goal back. Nevertheless, the visitors held on for the win and returned home with three important points.

Total Goals Prediction
Fiorentina's matches usually produce plenty of goals: they have both scored and conceded in seven consecutive Serie A matches. Juventus have also been unreliable in defence and, due to squad problems, have often conceded recently, so a clean sheet from the visitors is unlikely. Our pick is Both Teams to Score - Yes at odds of 1.67*.
Corners Prediction
Juventus are comfortably top of Serie A for corners won, averaging 8.2 per match. It is also worth noting that the Old Lady won at least five corners in 6 of their last 7 matches. Therefore, our bet is Juventus Team Total Corners - Over 4.5 at odds of 1.66*.
Yellow Cards Prediction
In home matches against Juventus, Fiorentina regularly cause the Turin side problems with their quick counter-attacks, forcing the visitors to stop dangerous attacks at the cost of bookings. In each of the last six head-to-head meetings in Florence, the Old Lady have received at least two yellow cards. Therefore, a bet on Juventus Team Total Yellow Cards - Over 1.5 is available at odds of 1.59*.
Player Prop Bet
On loan, Nick Woltemade has been highly effective in the Europa League, registering at least one goal contribution in all four of his matches in the competition. In Serie A, though, the German is on a dry spell: 0 goals and 0 assists in 8 matches. That run has to end sooner or later, and Fiorentina’s defence, which concedes more than almost any other, gives him a good chance to end it. Our bet is Nick Woltemade to score.
High-Risk Bet
Juventus have been too inconsistent this season, so even two consecutive wins do not yet mean they are fully out of their slump. Moreover, they played a difficult away match in the Europa League in midweek, which will surely have taken a lot out of them. Fiorentina, meanwhile, will look to build on their convincing win over Sassuolo at home. Taking all this into account, we suggest a bet on the draw at odds of 3.80* for those willing to take a risk.
Safer Bet
Fiorentina's defence is in very poor shape: they have conceded in 12 of their last 13 matches. Despite their inconsistency, Juventus know how to find gaps in opposing defences, so a bet on Juventus to score at odds of 1.19* will appeal to those looking for a safer option.
If the Match Takes a Different Turn
Although much suggests this will be an entertaining match, the opposite scenario should not be ruled out. Fiorentina may focus on defending and rely on counter-attacks, while Juventus may simply lack the energy to maintain constant pressure after a tough away trip to the Netherlands. Moreover, both head-to-head meetings last season ended with just two goals scored. Our alternative bet is Total Goals - Under 2.5 at odds of 2.12*.
*The odds are indicative and may vary between bookmakers.
⭐ Editor’s Prediction
According to the bookmakers, Juventus are slight favourites for the upcoming match, but Fiorentina clearly have no intention of giving up three points at home without a fight. After their recent win over Sassuolo, Fiorentina will surely want to build on that success. It is also worth noting the high-scoring nature of Fiorentina’s recent matches: at least three goals have been scored in 11 of their previous 12 games. Given both teams’ defensive problems and their desire to head into the international break with a win, we expect an open game with plenty of chances. Our main bet is Total Goals - Over 2.5. Predicted score: 2:2.
