Juventus vs. Fiorentina Betting Odds and Info

Why bet on Juventus?

Juventus can say that, together with PSG, they are the only undefeated team in the major European leagues. However, while the French side leads in Ligue 1, the Italians are in sixth place in Serie A.

That unbeaten run is a mirage for the Vecchia Signora, as of the 17 matches, ten have been draws: no one has done it more in Italy. Before the recent win against Monza (1-2), they had four consecutive draws versus Milan (0-0), Lecce (1-1), Bologna (2-2) and Venezia (2-2), all teams below them in the table, even Venezia is in relegation and that game was in Turin.

Defense has not been the problem as they have only conceded 13 goals, the second-best record after Napoli’s 12. The problem has been in attack. 28 goals is a poor number compared to Atalanta or Inter, both with 42. Dusan Vlahovic has been the player who has scored the most for the club (seven). However, he has only one in his last six games and that was from a penalty.

The other problem for Thiago Motta has been the hospital. Many players are out through injury, including Douglas Luiz, Timothy Weah, Arkadiusz Milik, Bremer, and Juan David Cabal.

Why bet on Fiorentina?

Fiorentina was having a dream season. However, they lost their last two matches and dropped to fifth place in Serie A. They have 31 points and are seven behind leaders Atalanta, but have a game in hand (vs. Inter).

After a streak of eight wins in a row and ten unbeaten games, they lost first to Bologna (1-0) and then at home to Udinese (1-2), going from fighting for first place to being in the fight for fifth, equal in points and GD against with Juve, but with one more goal scored than them.

Moise Kean arrived this season from the Vecchia Signora for 13 million euros and has performed very well, scoring 10 goals and providing one assist, in addition to three goals in the Conference League and one in the Coppa Italia. He was in a drought of four games without scoring, but against Udinese, he managed to score from the penalty spot.

In addition to the Italian striker, the level of David de Gea should be highlighted.The Spanish goalkeeper, who had not played for more than a year after being released by Manchester United, arrived in Florence and took possession of the starting lineup, playing a leading role in several matches, keeping six clean sheets and showing his quality at the age of 34.
