Fiorentina has secured 3 wins in their last 6 home matches, while Juventus has won 50% of their previous 6 away games

Fiorentina welcome Juventus to the Stadio Artemio Franchi in Serie A on Sunday evening buoyed by their 3-1 win at home to Panathinaikos in the second leg of their Europa Conference League (UECL) last-16 tie in midweek, which saw them advance to the quarter-final stage of the competition for the third season in a row.

La Viola reached the final in each of the previous two campaigns, but lost on both occasions. Nonetheless, attention now turns back to domestic football, where Fiorentina have won just once in five matches in Serie A losing the others as they have slipped out of the European places for next season.

Juventus were shocked in the league last time out, losing for just the second time this season as they were humbled 4-0 at home by fellow title hopefuls Atalanta. The result leaves the Old Lady nine points behind league leaders Inter Milan, and with perhaps too much to do as they are stuck in fourth place with just 10 games left to play.

They have done well in recent H2Hs against Fiorentina though, as they are unbeaten over the last five meetings, and have won three of them.

These two teams drew 2-2 in the reverse fixture earlier this season in a thrilling encounter. Juventus took the lead twice through Khephren Thuram, but Fiorentina levelled through Moise Kean and then Riccardo Sottil in the 87th minute.

Mandragora and Nicolo Zaniolo are available for Fiorentina after serving suspensions last week, and in fact Andrea Colpani is their only expected absentee.

Nicolo Savona, Jonas Rouhi and Francisco Conceicao are all doubts for Juventus on top of their longer-term injury absentees.

Fiorentina: De Gea, Pongracic, Mari, Ranieri, Dodo, Adli, Cataldi, Ndour, Gosens, Beltran, Kean.

Juventus: Di Gregorio, Weah, Gatti, Kalulu, Cambiaso, Thuram, Locatelli, Yildiz, McKennie, Gonzalez, Kolo Muani.
