Juventus-Fiorentina preview

Juventus-Fiorentina preview

Juventus host Fiorentina in an all-Italian pre-quarterfinal match of the UEFA Europa league. Juve would want to extend their domestic dominance over the Voila to the European scene. Fiorentina, on the other hand, will be hoping to trigger a coup against their familiar nemesis.

 

The teams met in the last weekend for a Serie A clash at the same stadium. Juve have won the match 1-0. It was a revenge of sorts for the Old Lady against the only team that defeated them in this season in the Italian top division. They are all ready to dish out a repeated performance and bag the three important home points.

 

Fiorentina will take heart from their earlier 4-2 win over Juve. Their recent form has not been great. With just three wins from their 10 games in 2014, they are struggling even to hold on to their current fourth position in the Serie A.

 

The only major injury-forced absence for Juventus will be Andrea Pirlo. He missed the last week’s game against the Voila too. Arturo Vidal has led their attack with great vision and success. Their strikers Carlos Tevez and Fernando Llorente are in fruitful form too. Kwadwo Asamoah, who scored the winning goal in the last week’s game, will be looking to repeat the same.

 

Giuseppe Rossi’s continued absence is hurting Fiorentina. It is one of the main reasons for their recent struggles. They will hope Mario Gomez, who has missed most of the season due to injury, will step into fill the void.

 

Juventus have the upper hand. They are the in-form side. Anything more than a draw will be a miracle for Fiorentina.
