Form Analysis: Contrasting Fortunes
Fiorentina’s Struggles
La Viola are enduring a torrid spell, collecting just two points from their last five Serie A matches. Their recent run reads like a nightmare—three defeats and two frustrating draws where they surrendered leads. The 2-2 stalemates against Genoa and Bologna exposed defensive fragility, while losses to Lecce (0-1 at home), Inter (0-3), and AC Milan (1-2) highlight deeper issues.
With only four goals scored in five games, Fiorentina’s attacking bite has dulled considerably. Their inability to convert possession into victories will concern manager ahead of facing a organized Juventus side. However, their resilience in fighting back from deficits could pose problems for the visitors.
Juventus’s Resilience
The Bianconeri present a more balanced picture with two wins, one draw, and two losses in their recent outings. Victories against Cremonese (2-1 away) and Udinese (3-1 home) demonstrate their ability to grind out results when needed. The goalless draw with Torino showcased defensive solidity, conceding just four goals in five matches.
However, consecutive away defeats to Lazio (0-1) and Como (0-2) reveal vulnerabilities on the road. Juventus must rediscover their away form at the hostile Franchi, where Fiorentina will be desperate for redemption.

Head-to-Head: A Competitive Rivalry
The recent history between these sides tells a fascinating story. Fiorentina stunned Juventus with a commanding 3-0 victory on March 16, 2025—their most emphatic win in this fixture recently. That result will fuel La Viola’s belief they can repeat the feat.
However, Juventus dominated the previous four encounters, winning three and drawing once. The Old Lady’s narrow 1-0 victories demonstrate their tactical mastery and ability to win tight contests. The 2-2 draw in December 2024 showed both teams can score freely against each other.

Key Tactical Battles
Defensive Solidity vs Attacking Desperation
Fiorentina must rediscover their defensive organization while injecting urgency into their attack. Their tendency to concede soft goals could prove fatal against Juventus’s clinical finishers. Meanwhile, Juventus must translate their home defensive prowess to the road, where they’ve struggled recently.
Away Day Blues
Juventus’s back-to-back away defeats raise questions about their mentality away from Turin. The hostile atmosphere at Franchi, combined with Fiorentina’s desperation for points, creates the perfect storm. Can the Bianconeri overcome their travel sickness?

The Verdict
Despite Fiorentina’s home advantage and memory of that 3-0 demolition, Juventus’s superior form and consistency make them favorites. La Viola’s defensive issues and goal-scoring drought suggest they’ll struggle to contain Juventus’s organized approach. Expect a cagey affair with Juventus edging a narrow 2-1 victory, though Fiorentina’s fight-back ability could produce late drama.
FAQs
Q: Where can I watch Fiorentina vs Juventus live?
A: The match kicks off at 17:00 GMT on Saturday, November 22, 2025. Check your local Serie A broadcast partners or official streaming services. Visit Serie A’s official broadcast page for regional availability.
Q: Why have Fiorentina struggled so much recently despite their 3-0 win over Juventus in March?
A: Fiorentina’s form has deteriorated due to multiple factors: defensive instability (conceding late goals in draws), lack of cutting edge in attack (only 4 goals in 5 games), and inability to maintain leads. Their March victory appears increasingly like an outlier rather than a reflection of current capability, with confidence visibly draining from the squad during their winless run.
