Fiorentina vs Juventus

FLORENCE, Italy (Interstat) — A resurgent Juventus looks to continue its climb up the Serie A table on Saturday when it visits Fiorentina, a team it dismantled just over a month ago.

The Turin side heads to the Stadio Artemio Franchi buoyed by a five-match unbeaten run in the league. This stands in stark contrast to their early-season struggles, which included a shocking 2-0 loss to Como. Their most recent result was a 0-0 draw with Torino on Nov. 8.

Juventus’s attack was at its most potent in the last meeting with Fiorentina, a stunning 7-1 victory on Oct. 17. That lopsided result is a fresh wound for the Viola, who have won just once in their last seven matches across all competitions. They are coming off a 2-2 draw with Genoa on Nov. 9.

Despite the historical drubbing, statistical projections for the rematch are mixed. Interstat’s game simulator predicts a 1-1 draw, while its ELO rating system gives Juventus a 70.5 percent probability of winning.

Fiorentina will hope home-field advantage can help reverse their fortunes and avenge the earlier humiliation. For Juventus, the match is a critical test to maintain momentum before a packed December fixture list.

The match is scheduled for a 6 p.m. local time kickoff on Saturday.
