One of the biggest games of the weekend in Serie A takes place on the 5th of November as Fiorentina meet Juventus.

The match will be played at the Stadio Artemio Franchi and the hosts begin this round of fixtures in 6th place on 17 points while the visitors are in 2nd place on 23 points.

Fiorentina come into the game on the back of a 1-0 defeat at Lazio last weekend in Serie A. With Lazio below Fiorentina in the table, I Viola would have been hoping to take at least a point from the match.

However, Lazio scored the only goal of the game from the penalty spot in the 95th minute.

The defeat at Lazio means Fiorentina have won 2 of their 5 most recent fixtures in all competitions.

The wins have come over Napoli away in Serie A, which was a great result, and Cukaricki at home in the Europa Conference League.

There was also a 2-2 draw at home against Ferencváros in the Europa Conference League and a disappointing 2-0 loss at home to Empoli in Serie A.

Trends show Fiorentina are not easy to beat when playing at home in the league and they are undefeated in 11 of their last 12 home Serie A games.

However, Fiorentina have not found it easy to keep clean sheets and they have conceded goals in 4 of their last 5 home Serie A matches.

Juventus make the trip to the Stadio Artemio Franchi having beat Verona 1-0 at home in Serie A last weekend.

The only goal of the game was scored in the 96th minute and Verona made Juventus work hard for the victory.

The win over Verona means Juventus are undefeated in their last 5 fixtures in all competitions.

There have been wins over Lecce and Torino at home in Serie A plus an excellent 1-0 win at AC Milan in the league.

The only game Juventus have failed to win from their last 5 matches ended in a 0-0 draw at Atalanta in Serie A.

Trends show Juventus are undefeated in 10 of their 11 most recent Serie A games. Juventus have kept a clean sheet in their last 5 Serie A games and lost only 1 of their last 6 away Serie A fixtures.

Team news: Fiorentina are without long term injury absentee Dodo plus have doubts over the fitness of Gaetano Castrovilli.

Juventus are without Nicolò Fagioli and Paul Pogba for disciplinary reasons. They also have Danilo and Mattia De Sciglio in the treatment room but Alex Sandro could recover in time from a muscle injury.

Fiorentina have made a good start to the season but have suffered some disappointing recent defeats.

Juventus have not been beaten in 35 of their 40 most recent clashes with Fiorentina in Serie A and could keep a clean sheet on their way to a fourth successive win in the league.
