This match is now a mid-table battle due to a points deduction, but these Juventus vs. Fiorentina predictions suggest the home side will be the ones celebrating at the end.
Cotes Juventus vs Fiorentina
1 – Juventus win – 17/20
2 – Under 2.5 goals scored – 4/5
3 – Both teams fail to score – 10/11
4 – Ángel Di Mariá will score anytime – 3/1
5 – Juventus wins 2-0 – 15/2
The points deduction incurred by Juventus can be appealed, so we certainly haven’t heard about it until the end. But Massimiliano Allegri will hope his players can focus on another winning streak after taking three points from Salernitana on Tuesday.
Juventus were just too good for their hosts at Stadio Arechi and Dušan Vlahović ended a four-month drought to open the scoring in the 3-0 win. Another victory on Sunday would again see the Old Lady just outside the European places, so every game is crucial at the moment.
Allegri has more injury problems to deal with though, after teenager Fabio Miretti was taken off against Salernitana. But there should be more than enough talent in the squad to beat this Fiorentina side who haven’t won in the league for over a month.
Viola fans weren’t happy with how the new year turned out for them. Fiorentina may have reached the Coppa Italia semi-final and the Europa Conference League play-offs, but the Serie A results have been lackluster.
The 2-1 home defeat at the hands of Bologna last Sunday was the third of the last four games. This winless streak has seen the club fall to the bottom half of the table and a surprise win in Turin looks unlikely.
Fiorentina haven’t scored many goals either and it will make fans even more angry to see former favorite Vlahović lining up for the opposition. A nil victory for Juventus seems the most likely outcome this weekend – even if the Serbian striker doesn’t find the net himself.

Juventus team news
Fabio Miretti’s injury may not have been as bad as initially feared but he is now another headache for Allegri. Nicolò Fagioli is expected to come on as a substitute and Juve could also bring Juan Cuadrado back to the right side. Federico Chiesa may have to settle for a place on the bench again.
Fiorentina team news
Vincenzo Italiano is forced to turn things around at the back thanks to Igor’s one-game suspension. Lucas Martinez Quarta should fit in there. Luka Jović seems to have won over his manager now, even if he doesn’t score the number of goals he would have liked.
