The second leg of the Coppa Italia semi-finals will be played this week and on Wednesday the 20th of April we have a meeting between Juventus and Fiorentina.
The match will be played at the Allianz Stadium and Juventus have a 1-0 lead to defend from the first leg in Florence.
Juventus come into the game on the back of a disappointing 1-1 draw at home with Bologna in Serie A on the weekend.
That result ended any faint hope they had of winning Serie A this season and the only remaining trophy on the table for Juventus is the Coppa Italia.
The draw with Bologna was courtesy of a late equalising goal when the opposition were down to 10 men and Juventus will need a better performance in this match to win.
Trends show Juventus have won only 2 of their last 5 matches in all competitions. The wins have come at home against Salernitana and away to Cagliari.
There have been defeats at home against Villarreal in the Champions League and Inter Milan in Serie A, both of which had grave consequences in both competitions.
Looking at the Coppa Italia and Juventus are undefeated in each of their last 8 games. They have won 7 of those 8 matches and Juventus are undefeated in their last 16 home Coppa Italia games.
Juventus have seen both teams score in 3 of their last 5 home Coppa Italia matches.
Fiorentina make the trip to the Allianz Stadium having beat Venezia 1-0 at home in Serie A on the weekend. That result means Fiorentina are currently in the European qualifying positions and they will want to finish in the top six this season.
The victory over Venezia means Fiorentina are undefeated in their last 6 games. There have been wins over Bologna, Empoli, and Venezia at home plus a good 3-2 win at Napoli.
Fiorentina also picked up a point in a 1-1 draw at Inter Milan, which was a good result.
Trends show Fiorentina have won 4 of their last 5 Coppa Italia games, with the wins coming over Cosenza, Benevento, Napoli, and Atalanta. However, the one defeat came in the first leg of this tie at home.
Fiorentina have won their last 3 away Coppa Italia games, with 2 of the wins coming in extra time at Udinese and Napoli. Both teams have scored in 4 of their last 5 away Coppa Italia fixtures.
Team news and Juventus have a significant injury list, with Matthijs de Ligt, Arthur, Manuel Locatelli, Marley Aké, Kaio Jorge, Weston McKennie, and Federico Chiesa all unlikely to be available.
In contrast, Fiorentina have just the two injury concerns, with Gaetano Castrovilli and Giacomo Bonaventura not expected to feature.
We expect this to be another tight game and there could be only one goal in the match, like the first leg.
Juventus have a lead to defend and could sit back, hitting Fiorentina on the break to snatch a 1-0 win on the night and progress to the final.
