Juventus is looking to bounce back in a big way after losing two matches in a row across all competitions. First of all, they missed out on the opportunity to win the Italian league crown last weekend after losing 2-1 to Spal, before being dumped out of the UEFA Champions League by Ajax after suffering another loss by the same score. On Saturday afternoon they can at least put domestic matters right when they host Fiorentina, again with the chance to be crowned league champions.
Juventus vs Fiorentina Game Center
Juventus must get back to winning ways
By their own high standards, the last week has been hugely disappointing for the Old Lady. First came that shock defeat to Spal after Moise Kean had given them the lead before they were knocked out of the Champions League on home soil by a far weaker Ajax outfit.
They now come up against a struggling Fiorentina side that is without a win in its last six league outings. The Viola sit 10th in the table and will not make the top four nor will they be relegated – there is very little other than pride for them to play for over the closing weeks of the campaign.
It is therefore no surprise to see that Juventus is the overwhelming favorite to win this league clash. You can back the league leaders to pick up three points and the title at just -200, while Fiorentina is out at +600 to claim a victory on the road. A draw is priced in the middle at +290.
Juventus should record comfortable win
And given how Fiorentina looks to have lost both their direction and motivation in recent weeks, we are fully expecting Juventus to pick up the win they need this weekend. It is of course not easy trying to predict the exact scoreline in a football match, but a comfortable 3-1 win for Juventus is priced competitively at +1200 and may well be worth backing when you take into consideration the recent form of both these sides.
Such a result would in turn allow you to back OVER 2.5 goals in the game, which comes in at +110, as well as both teams to score, which is slightly higher at +120. However, should you wish to try to push those potential winnings even higher, then you could employ a method known as combo betting, which allows you to select multiple outcomes at higher odds.
For example, a combo bet of a Juventus win, coupled with both teams to score, is at the much higher price of +300, while a home victory and OVER 2.5 goals in the game is at +160. OVER 2.5 goals and both teams to score comes in slightly above at +187.
Could Juventus make a fast start?
Juventus has a lot on the line in this game and after suffering such a disastrous week will be keen to make amends straight away, going in search of the early goal that would both exert their authority as well as put a dent in any Fiorentina hopes. It may therefore be an idea to back OVER 0.5 goals in the first 10 minutes at +350, while Juventus is at just +680 to be ahead by the end of that time period.
This is a match that Juventus should be dominating from start to finish. Given their excellent defensive record in Serie A so far this season – they are currently leaking goals at a rate of less than a goal a game – they could well win this game to nil (without Fiorentina scoring a goal), an outcome you can back at just +120.
Juventus is slightly higher to score in both halves at +162, while they come in at +300 to actually go out and win both halves. Expect Juventus to try to wrap up the league title in style.
