Juventus have taken advantage of AC Milan’s slip in the last two league games and will be hoping to rise to the top of the Serie A standings after the Round 14 action. The Italian giants are heading to this game in third place, on 27 points – one behind league leaders Milan. As for Fiorentina, not much has gone their way this season – they are 17th in the league, with 11 points. Juventus head to this game straight from an impressive 4-0 win over Parma, a game where Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice – his fifth and sixth goals in the last four matches. Ronaldo has so far scored 12 league goals and leads the scorers’ list. The win over Parma took Juventus to 12 matches unbeaten but it was only their fourth clean sheet in the run, though they have scored two or more goals in nine of the 12. The reigning champions have the best defence in the league, with 10 goals conceded while their attacking rate has been very impressive. They have scored 13 goals in the last five matches and conceded just three. Juventus last lost a Serie A match in August when they fell 3-1 to AS Roma; it has been 13 matches since then. The champions are also unbeaten in the last six home matches in the league and have 11 wins in 15 Serie A matches. Head to head with Fiorentina, Juventus are unbeaten in six; they have won five and drawn one and three of their last four meetings have produced over 2.5 goals. Four of Juve’s last five matches have also produced over 2.5 goals and three of their last four home matches as well.

On the other hand, this season it has been a freefall for Fiorentina. The only reason they are not in the relegation zone is because the teams below them have been equally poor. Fiorentina have one win in their last eight matches and it happens to be a Coppa Italia game, when they beat Udinese in extra time. The visitors have three clean sheets only in the last 15 matches and have conceded two goals or more in seven of the 15, while failing to score I n five of their last eight matches. In Serie A action, Fiorentina have managed no win in the last eight games, and have just one win in the last 12 league games. They have failed to score in the last four Serie A away matches and have conceded two or more goals in five of the last six away matches in the league.
