Juventus’ Serie A title defence is still mathematically alive, but realistically, the Italian champions should just focus on finishing in the top four. They are set to travel to Fiorentina on Sunday as they look to salvage what remains of their season. Hosts Fiorentina have so far managed 33 points, in 13th place while fourth placed Juventus are on 64 points. Fiorentina have the poorest defence among the top 13 teams, after conceding 53 goals. However, they’ll be hoping to build on their 3-1 win over Hellas Verona in the last game. That was their first win in five matches, after registering three losses in the earlier four. Both sides have scored in Fiorentina’s last five matches, a return that has seen four of the matches produce over 2.5 goals. In three of their last five matches, Fiorentina have conceded three goals and have just one clean sheet in the last 15 league matches. In Duan Vhalovic, the hosts have a serious threat in attack, having scored 16 goals this season and four of those have come in the last four matches. Going to this game, they have no win in the last four home matches, losing three. In the 15 home matches in Serie A, Fiorentina have managed just five wins.

Juventus suffered a 3-0 loss to Fiorentina in their December meeting – the first time in seven meetings that they’ve lost in this fixture. The champions have three wins in their last four matches going to this game and even after beating Parma 3-1 in the last game, the frustration was written all over as they remain 11 points below leaders Inter. Not even a top four place is assured as things stand. Juventus have conceded in each of their last five matches, but scored two or more goals in four of the five. Away from home, they have just one win and no clean sheet in five league matches. They recently lost 1-0 away to Atalanta, denting their top four hopes, as they failed to score for the second time in five away games. This season they’ve performed really poorly away from home; in 15 away league matches, Juventus have managed six wins.
