The Serie A weekend concludes with a match at the Allianz Stadium, where two teams aiming to find consistency face off.
Juventus hosts Fiorentina in Turin on Sunday evening, both eager to end their winless streaks in the Italian top flight.
Can Juventus solidify their top-four position? Or will Fiorentina secure a positive result away from home?
Match Preview
Juventus enters Sunday’s match after a 2-0 win against Lazio in the first leg of their Coppa Italia semi-final.
However, Max Allegri’s team has failed to win any of their last four Serie A matches, with two draws and two defeats dropping them to third in the table.
Adding to their woes, Juventus has won only one of their previous nine league matches, with four of their last five at home ending without a win.
It’s noteworthy that Allegri’s side has conceded six goals in their last five home league games, compared to just four in their first 10.
Fiorentina also won the first leg of their Coppa Italia semi-final, securing a 1-0 victory over Atalanta.
However, like Juventus, La Viola has struggled in Serie A recently, winning just one of their last six league games.
Zooming out, Fiorentina has only two wins in their last 11 Serie A matches, with four draws and five losses in the mix.
With just one win in their last nine away league matches, Fiorentina may find it challenging to get a positive result in Turin this weekend.
