Juventus are desperate for three points and Massimiliano Allegri is set to start Paulo Dybala, Alvaro Morata and Federico Chiesa against Dusan Vlahovic’s Fiorentina.
All eyes will be on the Serbian striker today when Fiorentina visit Juventus at the Allianz Stadium. It kicks off at 17.00 UK time.
Vlahovic won’t extend his contract expiring in June 2023 with Fiorentina and Juventus are one of the clubs monitoring him.
The 21-year-old is the third most prolific striker in Europe’s top 5 leagues in 2021 and scored a hat-trick against Spezia last week.
Fiorentina have Nico Gonzalez out of action with COVID, so Riccardo Saponara will replace him on the right.
Erick Pulgar, Aleksandr Kokorin and Bartlomiej Dragowski are injured.
Juventus are without Mattia De Sciglio and Moise Kean, but Max Allegri can rely on Chiesa, Dybala and Morata, who got their name on the scoresheet against Zenit on Tuesday.
Former Fiorentina stars Federico Chiesa and Federico Bernardeschi are expected to start on the wings with Juan Cuadrado on the bench.
Chiesa made his Serie A debut with Fiorentina in 2016 in a Serie A match against the Bianconeri at the Allianz Stadium.
Juventus lost the last two Serie A games against Sassuolo and Hellas Verona and haven’t suffered three defeats in a row in Serie A for more than 10 years.
Juventus (4-4-2): Szczesny; Danilo, Bonucci, De Ligt, Alex Sandro; Chiesa, McKennie, Locatelli, Bernardeschi; Morata, Dybala.
Fiorentina (4-3-3): Terraciano; Odriozola, Milenkovic, Martinez Quarta, Biraghi; Castrovilli, Torreira, Bonaventura; Callejon, Vlahovic, Saponara.
