Fiorentina vs Juventus prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2025-03-15 17:00.
[p]Fiorentina’s 2-1 defeat to Napoli last Sunday was their fourth loss in their last five Serie A matches (W1), meaning that they are now five points off the top six ahead of the round. Preparation for this weekend went much better though, as Raffaele Palladino’s men overturned a first-leg deficit to book their place in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Conference League by beating Panathinaikos 3-1 on Thursday night.[/p]
[p]It was their fourth win in their last five home games (L1), with three of those victories seeing Fiorentina open the scoring in the first 15 minutes. By contrast, La Viola remain the only side yet to concede in the same timeframe in Serie A this season, while no team has netted more than their seven goals during that period ahead of this round in Italy’s top flight.[/p]
[p]After suffering their first Serie A home defeat by four or more goals since 1967 when they were thrashed 4-0 by Atalanta, Juventus lost any hope they had of remaining in the title conversation. Having picked up fewer points than in all of their previous 13 campaigns at this stage of the season, the Old Lady’s prospects of finishing in the top four are also in jeopardy, as they enter this weekend one point above fifth-placed Lazio.[/p]
[p]Thiago Motta’s men have won back-to-back away league matches, but with both victories coming against bottom-half sides, their trip to Florence may cause their travelling fans to worry in light of recent events. There is hope that things will go in their favour though, as Juve have lost just once here across the last eight visits in all competitions (W4, D3), keeping five clean sheets during that run.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Juventus academy graduate and current Fiorentina talisman Moise Kean could become only the third player for the Tuscans to score in both of his first two games against Juventus in Serie A in the three-points-for-a-win era. Ten of his 15 league goals this term have arrived before half-time, including the one in the reverse fixture. Juve’s Khéphren Thuram has netted five of his last seven goals before the hour mark, including the double in December against Fiorentina (2-2).[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Juventus have conceded a joint-league low 12 first-half goals this Serie A season ahead of this weekend. [/p]
