Juventus vs Fiorentina Betting Tips and Predictions

Juventus v Fiorentina betting tips and predictions for the Serie A match on Saturday 20th August, Kick Off 7:45pm.

 

Juventus kick off their Serie A title push with a home match against Fiorentina. It’s not the easiest of starts for them, but they’ve had a big pre-season playing some good teams so will feel ready for the upcoming campaign. The speculation surrounding Pogba all summer has finally gone after his record move to Manchester United, and that will be a relief that it’s done before the season starts.

 

Juventus vs Fiorentina Preview

 

They’ve been busy themselves in the transfer market, the two eye-catching signings have been Gonzalo Higuain who they’ve signed from their rivals Napoli for a big fee rumoured to be around £70 million – but he was last seasons’ top scorer and after seeing him play many times it’s not a surprise they’ve jumped at the chance to sign him. Miralem Pjanic has also joined for £25 million, which has to be one of the best value for money deals in the whole of Europe this summer. He has very similar responsibilities as Andrea Pirlo as he is the one who is relied on for passing and keeping the game moving. He does this with ease, and his set pieces will be very much enjoyed in Turin.

 

Fiorentina have had a shocking pre-season. They’ve lost every game, although their opposition have been of good calibre, apart from a 2-0 defeat to Cesena which is slightly worrying. As for most Italian clubs, there has been a mass turnaround in the players coming and going, most of the leavers were in their reserve team. Some notable incoming moves have been the loans of Tello and Carlos Sanchez from Barcelona and Aston Villa respectively. They’ve also brought in Ianis Hagi, who I’m very excited about seeing in a top league. They signed him from Viitorul in Romania, and if you recognise the surname, it’s Gheorghe Hagi’s son, he’s only 17 but last season almost played the whole season for his club, getting three goals too.

 

Juventus vs Fiorentina Predictions

 

My first betting tip for Juventus v Fiorentina is going to be Juventus to win -1 handicap. I think they’ll once again blow this league apart, especially after weakening two of their rivals by taking their best player each. Fiorentina will have little confidence going into this game and defensively I don’t think they’ll cope with the Juventus attack. The handicap is available at 6/4 with Coral.

My second Juventus vs Fiorentina prediction is match is going to be Juventus to win to nil. You saw in the Euro 2016 tournament how good that back three of Italy’s is as well as Buffon behind them. It’s the exact same defence Juventus have, and they’re unbelievably solid and well drilled, bar a set piece or random moment of magic I can’t see a Fiorentina goal coming and Coral are offering excellent odds of 29/20 for Juventus to win to nil.

 

First Goalscorer Tip

My final Juventus vs Fiorentina betting tip writes itself. You can’t go against Gonzalo Higuain after the season he had last year. He’s now playing for the champions of Italy and there’s no reason why he couldn’t do even better. He did look slightly overweight in pre-season, but I’m sure that was addressed quickly and he’ll be raring to go. Bet365 are offering 16/5 for him to score first.
