Juventus have recorded 17 wins, eight draws and five defeats from 30 Serie A games this term. Their last league win came against Frosinone back in February. After that, the Old Lady went on a four-game winless run, taking just two points in the process. Nevertheless, Allegri’s men produced a solid performance to put one foot in the final of the Copa Italia when they defeated Lazio at Allianz Stadium on Tuesday. Federico Chiesa and Dusan Vlahovic found the back of the net in the second-half, while the Eagles were restricted to zero shots on target in the entire 90 minute of play in Turin. Meanwhile, Bianconeri have been solid at home this term, losing only one of their 15 top flight matches at Allianz Stadium.
Fiorentina, on the other hand, could meet Juve in the final of the Coppa Italia, following a narrow 1-0 win over Atalanta on Wednesday. Rolando Mandragora’s effort on the half-hour mark separated the two sides at Stadio Artemio Franchi, while Le Dea’s Marco Carnesechi kept the scoreline down with a series of saves. Moreover, Viola are set to kickoff their Europa Conference League quarter-final tie with Viktoria Plzen next week. Meanwhile, when it comes to the serie A, Vincenzo Italiano’s men are winless since the 2-1 victory over Lazio towards the end of February. Their last league-outing ended in a 2-1 defeat to AC Milan on March 30.
