Juventus Turin vs. AC Florence
On the 12th matchday of Serie A, Juventus Turin face AC Florence at home in the Allianz Arena. Although the Old Lady won against Saint Petersburg in the Champions League during the week, they lost their last two games in the Old Day. Juventus have been waiting for a win for three games in Serie A. The Turin side will go into the upcoming home game in ninth place in the table. Coach Max Allegri’s team is already a full 16 points behind the top of the table, where Napoli currently stand. In addition, the upcoming task is not an easy one.
Fiorentina are two places above their hosts in the table ahead of the clash against Juve. Florence are currently seventh in Serie A and beat Spezia Calcio 3-0 on the last matchday, with goalscorer Dusan Vlahovic scoring all three goals in that victory. Juventus’ defence, which has been very vulnerable recently, should therefore be warned. At the final whistle, Fiorentina will still want to be ahead of the Old Lady in the table.

Juventus Form & Balance Check
After the Old Lady from Turin re-hired old coach Max Allegri as head coach for the new season, Juve got off to the worst possible start to the season. Many individual parts, too many individualists, no team and no system were attributed to Juventus Turin. But on matchday 6, the knot burst in Turin. Juventus won four games in a row and seemed to have found themselves. But for three weeks now, the worm has been in the wind again. They only managed a draw against Inter, before Juve lost against Sassuolo and Hellas Verona most recently.
What is the goal for the season?
After the defeat against Verona on the last matchday, Juventus are already 16 points behind the top of the table. They are currently in 9th place and the championship seems to be out of reach. For Juve, this season can only be about securing Champions League football in the coming season. First, the Old Lady must get back on the winning track to forget the two defeats in a row.
Juventus facts & analysis
– 9th place
– 2 defeats in a row
– 2 wins from last 5 matches
Florence form & balance check
Fiorentina are picking up where they left off last season and are really enjoying themselves this season. Florence are currently in 7th place with 18 points and are only one point behind a Champions League place. However, the truth is that Florence could have done better. Fiorentina lost 1:0 against promoted Venice. So far, Florence has only known victory or defeat. Not once has Florence parted with a draw in the current season. After eleven games, their record shows six wins and five defeats.
Vlahovic the X-factor
One in particular is really enjoying himself at AC Florence: Dusan Vlahovic. After his employer convinced the striker to stay after a very successful last season, Vlahovic is also scoring this season. After eleven games, the Serbian is in third place on the list of goal scorers with eight goals. In the last match against Spezia, the goal scorer scored all three goals. If Vlahovic continues to score, it could be a very successful season for Fiorentina. To that end, Florence travel to Turin with a run of two unbeaten games against Juve.

Predicted line-up – last update on 4 November 2021
Juventus Turin have not been playing in a consistent formation so far. Under coach Max Allegri, however, the Old Lady often plays a 4-4-2 formation. With this tactical alignment, Juve can create a clear distribution of roles between defence and offence. The Old Lady tries to play mainly through the wings and, with two strikers, always has a goal threat at or in the opponent’s penalty area.
Fiorentina take a different approach. Florence pursues a clearly attacking game idea, which is why coach Vincenzo Italiano’s team plays in a 4-3-3 system that focuses on wing play. Florence want to switch quickly after winning the ball and become goal-threatening via the wings. With Vlahovic in the centre of the attack, Fiorentina have a real goal scorer.
