Juventus vs Fiorentina Predictions and Free Tips from our expert tipsters when the teams go head-to-head in Italian Serie A on Sunday, 12 February 2023.
The Old Lady are trying to salvage their season. After the 15-point deduction, their objective now would be to make at least to the Conference League the next season.
Meanwhile, Fiorentina have been kind of a failure in 2022-23. They used to be one of the contenders for a top-seven finish, but this time around they seem to be on a course to a finish in the bottom tier of the table.
The Old Lady won three of the past five clashes, and they won eight of the previous nine meetings at this ground. In fact, the hosts have a 100% winning record at this ground in the past 12 years, barring just three fixtures.
As mentioned, Juve have a terrific h2h record against this rival, and particularly so at this venue. On top of that they are determined to finish at least in the sixth spot in the table. Barring their loss against toppers Napoli, they seem to have the calibre to make this happen.
On the other hand though, Fiorentina are in a mess. They won just six times all through the league campaign, and only one of these wins came in the past three months.
And just twice did they win on the road so far this season, and the sole two wins came against teams placed 17th or below in the table.
As things stand, a win is expected for hosts Juventus this Sunday.
Juve scored three goals in their latest fixture, and four of their past six games had three or more goals. Whereas the last two games of Fiorentina had three or more goals, and they managed to keep a single clean sheet on the road in league fixtures since August of 2022.
With the Old Lady determined to amass points, and with Fiorentina struggling with their backline, chances are quite high for goals to come in plenty this weekend.
The hosts of the day are in good form, and have delivered consistent defensive performances throughout the season. They are determined to post the three points at any cost this Sunday, whereas Fiorentina won just twice on the road this entire league campaign.
It would be unwise to bet against the hosts keeping a clean sheet this Sunday.
Former champions Juve do have a challenge in front of them. They have to make up the 15 points deducted by the league, and now their priorities have changed. As of now, they are going after a sixth-place finish.
It helps their cause that they have a near-perfect h2h record at this venue over the past 12 years. In fact, barring just three games, they have a 100% winning record here during the period.
They also lost just a single Serie A fixture at home this season, whereas Fiorentina won just two of those on the road. And these two wins came against teams currently placed 17th or lower in the table.
Likely, Juventus to Win at an odd of 1.83 looks quite appealing.
Going on, the Old Lady scored twice or more in nine of their past fourteen appearances at home, while Fiorentina managed to keep a single clean sheet on the road in Serie A match-ups, since August.
On top of that, the hosts also scored two or more goals in six of the last nine h2h meetings at this venue.
As things stand, the Over 1.5 Team Goals by Juventus would be a good pick for the weekend at an odd of 1.90.
