Juventus and Fiorentina are both in the middle of the table in Serie A, but they are separated by only two points going into Sunday's game in Turin.
Since losing by one point to Monza, Juve has won in both the league and the cup. The visitors from Viola, on the other hand, have been having trouble and are now behind the Bianconeri in the standings.
First, it was hard for Juventus to get used to such a painful blow when they lost 15 points out of the blue last month. This dropped them to the bottom of the table when they were close to making it into the top four in Serie A.
After losing 2-0 at home to Monza, their hopes of a dramatic comeback that would result in European qualification via the league were dashed. However, after defeating Lazio to advance to the Coppa Italia semifinals, they were back on track in the top flight on Tuesday.
Dusan Vlahovic scored twice to help the Bianconeri take control of the game against Salernitana at Stadio Arechi. The Bianconeri went on to win 3-0, which helped Max Allegri, who was under more and more pressure.
Juve's head coach has faced criticism for both techniques and player management this season, but he will contend that his team is still on the lookout for two trophies despite a period of uncertainty that has been hampered by dishonorable off-field incidents.
The first leg of their Europa League tie with Nantes is scheduled for next Thursday, and a two-legged Coppa Cup semi-final against Inter is also up next.
The previous time Juventus went three home games without a league victory was in 2015. Prior to that, Juventus will look to get back on track in Turin, where they have only earned one point in their previous two games.
Also, they have only won one of the last five league games against their opponents this weekend. In the 11 games before that, they won all three points nine times.
Allegri will use his past success against the Viola as manager of Juventus, where he has won six straight games against Fiorentina at home in Serie A. This will help turn things around.
From what has happened in the past and what is happening right now, it doesn't look like they will win this match. Vincenzo Italiano's team has been one of the worst in Serie A since the holidays.
Only Cremonese, Sampdoria, and Salernitana have accrued fewer points in 2023 than Fiorentina, who have won only one of their six top-flight games. They were also defeated at home last time out.
losing 2-1 against a team in the same mid-table With just one clean sheet in their past 14 league games, Bologna left the Viola in 13th place, five points below their opponents and two below Juventus.
But with their own Coppa Italia semifinal coming up and their return to the Europa League the following week, the Tuscans still have a lot to play for this campaign, so winning the team's first trophy in 20 years must be Italiano's top goal.
