This @4.00 odds on Juve-Fiorentina could be an easy winner

Poor league form, but an important cup win – Juve and Fio are in a similar mood for the clash.

The 31st round of Serie A was packed with rivalries, as Salernitana-Sassuolo was exciting in terms of relegation, Roma-Lazio didn’t need a bet to be called a derby, while Juventus and Fiorentina fans rarely eat out of each other’s palms since the Roberto Baggio affair. This time the two sides meet in Turin, but it could well not be the last time this year.

The participants won the first leg of the Italian Cup semi-final at home, and both teams are desperate for the Coppa this season. Juve’s two-goal lead means they have one foot in the final, while Fiorentina still face a 60-40, or rather 50-50, clash in Bergamo.

Although they are still in the Conference League, after a good start, the current 10th place does not look very strong, but a potential 7th place in the Cup is still possible, not to mention the two cup competitions. Moreover, in the EKL, Viktoria Plzen will be among the top 8, while Brugge/PAOK will be in the top 8 if they qualify, so this could very well be a semi-final or even a final.

Juventus, winless in four league games, have less excitement ahead of them, with Torino now aiming to retain 3rd place. There are also crucial weeks ahead for Allegri, as 6 points against Fiorentina and Torino would mean a lot to the fans, who are far from convinced that Max is the right man to lead the team.

However, it is important to note that Vlahovic’s return is an important point for Juventus, as he did not play in the last round of the league due to suspension, so the Old Lady are expected to send the same starter again. Vincenzo Italiano’s side have already been the subject of several changes in the Italian press.

Parisi, Milenkovic, Kayode, Bonaventura, Mandragora and Kouame are expected to be on the bench, while Dodo, Martínez, Biraghi, Arthur, Duncan and Sottil could replace them.
