Fiorentina vs Juventus team news and expert analysis
The Florence-based club played in the Europa League last season and even reached the knockout stage. However, in Serie A, they only managed to escape the relegation zone after replacing their manager with Vanoli, eventually finishing 15th. So it came as no surprise that he was brought back after a disastrous start. Yet following a couple of good performances, the team also suffered defeats under him in October. Only in the most recent rounds did they return to form: they drew a high-scoring game with Atalanta and even beat Sassuolo.
Not even a managerial reshuffle helped the Turin giants, who dropped to sixth place in the spring. As a result, the Italians are competing only in the Europa League this season. They opened the campaign with a couple of wins but were held to a draw by Rennes. On Thursday, they beat AZ again, 2-1. At the same time, they have dropped points in half of their Serie A matches. They even lost to Genoa in the penultimate round. At least they bounced back by beating Napoli.
Mastantuono and his new teammates are averaging 1.5 goals scored and 2.3 conceded per match. Spalletti's side have not been particularly impressive, although they are certainly looking better: 1.3 goals scored and one conceded on average.
