Juventus vs. Fiorentina 11/6/21 Serie A Soccer Pick, Odds, and Prediction

Juventus is welcoming Fiorentina to Allianz Stadium in round 12 of the Italian Serie A. Juventus has been doing great in the Champions League, but they are struggling in Serie A, and the title is far away. Fiorentina has been playing well and scoring a lot at home, but they haven’t been so great on the road.

After 3 games without a win, Juventus was playing against Zenit in the Champions League earlier this week, and they have finally gotten a win. Juventus was the better team in this game with 58% of ball possession, 11 shots on goal, 5 corner kicks, 3 big chances created, and a solid 90% of the correct passes. The halftime result was 1-1, but Juventus stepped up in the second half, and with 3 more scored goals, they have won this game 4-2. As far as Serie A goes, Juventus is in low 10^th place, and I know it’s still early in the season, but this doesn’t look well for Juventus at the moment. Offensively, they are scoring a decent number of goals, but their defense is really bad this season with 15 conceded goals so far. Dybala is the leading goalscorer for Juventus with only 3 goals and 3 assists. The good news for Juventus is there is an international break coming up, and that will give them some time to focus, and get their injured player as healthy as possible.

Fiorentina is playing well at home, Vlahovic has scored 8 goals so far, but they haven’t been as effective on the road this season. Fiorentina has scored only 6 goals on the road this season while conceding 7, but at least they are doing well at home. In their last game against Spezia at home, Fiorentina was outstanding with 55% of ball possession, 12 shots on goal, 7 corner kicks, 3 big chances created, and a solid 87% of the correct passes. As I said, Fiorentina is really effective at home, and they showed us that here as well. Fiorentina has won this match 3-0. At the moment, Fiorentina is higher than Juventus in the standings, in 7^th place with 18 points, and I know it will be tough to qualify for Europe solely focusing on home games, but they will have a solid shot. Another problem for Fiorentina is they have marked Vlahovic for sale, and they will sell him in January, but that is what happens when a team is desperate for money.

In their current form, I wouldn’t side with Juventus, but Fiorentina is not so great on the road. I think this game promises goals, on both sides, and for that reason, I will take the over.
