Juventus have the advantage in head-to-head encounters between these two sides, claiming victory on 17 different ocassions.

However, Fiorentina stunned the Old Lady when these sides last met at the Allianz Stadium. Dusan Vlahovic, Martin Caceres and an Alex Sandro own goal helped the Viola to victory back in December under the then-tutelage of Cesare Prandelli.

The Old Lady are in desperate need of a win to keep their title ambitions alive, and they face a Fiorentina side who boast the prolific Vlahovic in attack.

This current Juve style of play however may suit a more attack-minded Fiorentina outfit after being stung on the counter-attack by Sassuolo at home recently.

Buoyed by their midweek Champions League success, expect Juventus to edge this one.

Prediction: Juventus 1-0 Fiorentina
