This will be a good opportunity for Fiorentina to close the gap behind their top 3 rivals following a somewhat slow start to the league campaign, with their long-standing rivalry with Juventus likely to add an extra spice to the game at Artemio Franchi.

The Bianconeri are currently on a four-match winning run, but they know all too well how difficult it is to beat Viola in Florence.

Having missed out on a Champions League berth by mere two points last term, Fiorentina were determined to make things right this season and they indeed entered the new campaign with a seriously reinforced squad.

And while Viola enjoyed a pretty good start to the season, it was the injury to star striker Mario Gomez that acted as a major blow to their ambitions.

The team have since struggled for form, picking up just two points from last three league matches, although at least they continued with promising showing in Europa League.

However, given that they are already seven points behind the top 3 positions, Fiorentina have no choice but to go for a win against fierce rivals Juventus.

With Mario Gomez the only high-profile absentee, Viola are 3.60 (13/5) to return to winning ways and inflict the first defeat of the season on the Bianconeri.

Ante Rebic and Facundo Roncaglia have recovered from their respective ailments, but Ahmed Hegazy continues to miss out.

Probable starting line-up (3-5-1-1): Neto – Tomovic, Rodriguez, Savic – Cuadrado, Aquilani, Pizarro, Valero, Pasqual – Joaquin – Rossi.

This season Juventus picked up where they left off last term, winning six of first seven league fixtures, but that wasn’t enough for the Bianconeri to climb to the top of the standings.

With AS Roma yet to drop points in this year’s campaign, the Old Lady sit five points behind their title rivals and they cannot really afford any slip ups at the moment.

However, even with Antonio Conte’s side winning their last four league fixtures, they still face a tough task at Artemio Franchi, so I am not sure there is a lot of value in 2.25 (5/4) odds for an away win.

Last season Juventus were held to a goalless draw in Florence, and chances are we will see another very close encounter.

Having returned late from international duty, Arturo Vidal is unlikely to start, but Martin Caceres could return after recovering from injury.

Meanwhile, Mirko Vucinic, Stephan Lichtsteiner, Fabio Quagliarella and Simone Pepe remain on the sidelines.

Probable starting line-up (3-5-2): Buffon – Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini – Padoin, Marchisio, Pirlo, Pogba, Asamoah – Tevez, Giovinco.
