Fiorentina vs Juventus Prediction
Fiorentina finished seventh last season, and have endured a quiet start this time around, winning only one of their first four league fixtures. They have added Luka Jovic, Antonin Barak and Pierluigi Gollini to the squad, with Jovic in particular having a big point to prove following a disappointing spell at Real Madrid.
Juventus, on the other hand, have just announced the acquisition of Argentine midfielder Leandro Paredes, adding to the signings of Angel Di Maria, Paul Pogba and Filip Kostic. With both Milan clubs still finding their feet this season, Juventus will be hopeful that they will be able to win the league title.
We expect Juventus to win this game.
Prediction: Fiorentina 0-1 Juventus
