At the Allianz Stadium on Sunday the Bianconeri are looking for confirmation in the championship against Fiorentina
A few days after the finally convincing performance of Juventus returning to success in their own stadium in match one of the semi-finals of the Italian Cup, the Bianconeri, again at the Allianz Stadium, will return to the pitch on Sunday at 20pm to face Fiorentina on the calendar for the 45st day of the top flight. The Viola team also returned from a success, in the other Cup semi-final, where, albeit narrowly, they beat an Atalanta team who had recently been traveling with the wind in their sails. Two successes, therefore, which have revitalized two teams and two environments recently returning from less than encouraging results. Starting above all with the Bianconeri, now third in the standings with 31 points under their belt, who have collected just seven points in the last nine championship matches. However, 59 points have been won by the Tuscans who, after having also cradled Champions League ambitions, are now tenth in the standings also due to last Saturday's home misstep against Milan due to Leao's match goal in the 43rd minute which signed the 53 to 2 final for the Rossoneri.
Juventus is the team that has beaten Fiorentina the most times in Serie A: 81 successes for the Bianconeri against the Viola, with 53 draws and 35 Tuscan victories to complete the tally. Furthermore, the Bianconeri have won 11 of the last 12 home matches against the Tuscans in the top division, keeping a clean sheet in four of the last six and have also won the last two home matches. The first leg, played at the Franchi last 5 November, ended with a 1-0 result in favor of Juventus thanks to Miretti's decisive goal.
A team that wins cannot be changed but Allegri will be forced to make a virtue of necessity for the team to be fielded against Fiorentina. He will certainly have to do without Kostic, he could propose Iling Junior in his place, and he risks not recovering Chiesa, who did so well against Lazio, stopped in the pits due to a feverish state. If he doesn't make it, Yldiz will pair up in attack with the former player Dusan Vlahovic. Locatelli will certainly be entrusted with the reins of the game flanked by McKennie and Rabiot while Cambiaso will act on the right flanks and Iling jr on the left. Between the posts there will be Szczesny with Bremer reintroduced in the center of the defensive department with Gatti defending on the right and Danilo on the opposite side.
Vincenzo Italiano, the Viola coach, after the good performance in the Cup against Atalanta, could put Milenkovic and Ranieri at the center of the defense flanked by Dodò and Biraghi, fresh from the bench in the Cup. In midfield we will see another former Arthur teaming up with Bonaventura. Belotti, or alternatively Nzola, will be the team's point of reference in attack and will be able to count on the support of Nico Gonzales, Beltran and Sottil ready to offer him balls to finish.
The performance in the Italian Cup and the field factor further induced BetFlag analysts to bet on the favorite blackboard Juventus with the 1 high but not too much at 1,83, distant from the X at 3,45 and with the 2 at 4.45. Vlahovic is still the leader in the special ranking of the first or last scorer of the match at 5,25, then Chiesa at 8,00, Kean at 8,25, Yildiz at 8,75, Sekulov, Alcaraz and Rabiot at 10,50, Gonzalez at 11,00 and then gradually all the others.
