Fiorentina Preview: Searching for Momentum
Fiorentina’s season started on a high, competing for multiple trophies, but their domestic form has declined significantly since the turn of the year. Despite struggles in Serie A and a Coppa Italia exit, they remain competitive in European football.
A midweek 3-1 win over Panathinaikos in the UEFA Europa Conference League saw them progress to the quarterfinals on a 5-4 aggregate, thanks to goals from Rolando Mandragora, Albert Gudmundsson, and Moise Kean.
Back in Serie A, they are desperate to bounce back from a tough start to 2025. Playing at home against an inconsistent Juventus presents a golden opportunity to return to winning ways.
Juventus Preview: Struggles Continue for the Old Lady
Juventus embarked on a new era under Thiago Motta last summer, emphasizing younger, dynamic players. However, their form has been far from convincing.
They were eliminated from both the UEFA Champions League by PSV Eindhoven and the Coppa Italia by Empoli. To make matters worse, they suffered a humiliating 4-0 defeat against Atalanta last weekend.
Despite still fighting for a top-four spot, Juventus’ season has been riddled with inconsistency. Motta is under immense pressure to turn things around, and a defeat against Fiorentina could make matters worse.
