Fiorentina team news
Gaetano Castrovilli is continuing his long-running recovery from a serious knee injury while Szymon Zurkowski is yet to reappear after assisting Rolando Mandragora's late winner on the opening day.
Nicolas Gonzalez and Alfred Duncan are both doubts after missing the midweek trip to Udine.
For that aforementioned limp defeat, Italiano made nine changes from the side that held Napoli to a 0-0 draw last weekend. Given the nature of that display, Italiano could shuffle his pack once again.

Juventus team news
Taking a thoroughly glass-half-full view on Wojciech Szczesny's sprained ankle, Juve's goalkeeper didn't fracture the joint during the club's midweek win. However, he has rejoined an injury list that was beginning to reduce following the return to fitness of Angel Di Maria.
Paul Pogba is awaiting his second debut for the club but Leandro Paredes may feature after finalising his loan deal from Paris Saint-Germain. The young forwards Marley Ake (ankle) and Kaio Jorge (tendon) remain unavailable while Felix Correia is recovering from a shoulder problem.
Federico Chiesa is some way off regaining full fitness but club captain Leonardo Bonucci is inching towards a return.

Bench: Pinsoglio, McKennie, De Sciglio, Milik, Paredes, Kostic, Kean, Zakaria, Rugani.
Fiorentina vs Juventus score prediction
Juve's last Serie A defeat was at the hands of their upcoming hosts. With Champions League qualification already secured, the Bianconeri barely bothered getting off the team bus last May, attempting just one shot all game (which was blocked) as Fiorentina cantered to a 2-0 win.
The Old Lady have their sights set higher than the top four this term and have actually demonstrated some tentative signs of improvement in the last two matches. However, Fiorentina's goal drought belies the threat they can pose and La Viola may prove to be another sticky stop on Juve's amble back to the top.
Prediction: Fiorentina 1-1 Juventus
