Fiorentina advanced to the quarter-finals of the Conference League with great difficulty. The first leg of the Conference League 1/8 finals in Athens ended in a 3-2 defeat for Fiorentina. Roberto Palladino's side took a more responsible approach to the return leg on Thursday. The Lilies led by two goals until the 24th minute. The team kept this score, and in the 75th minute they scored the third goal. Panathinaikos' goal from the penalty spot, however, deprived the Florentines of a quiet ending. It turned out well. In the last round of the championship Palladino's wards did not escape a logical and logical defeat. "Lilies" met with Napoli on the background of fatigue after travelling to Greece, but far from in the reserve squad. The Adzurri scored in the first half and doubled their lead in the second. Gudmundsson's goal brightened the defeat, but did not solve anything. This was the fifth defeat in the last seven meetings for the team.

Juventus suffered a crushing defeat in the last round. Torino lost 0:4 to Atalanta, one of their rivals in the fight for the league champion position. Immediately there were rumours that the meeting could be decisive for the young mentor. Before that, the Old Lady had been knocked out of the Italian Cup and the Champions League.

It is worth looking at the results of the last face-to-face meetings between the rivals. The last time the teams met at the end of last year. A 2-2 draw was recorded in Turin, but the Florentines were saved from defeat only on 87 minutes. And the hosts deserved to win much more. One more draw was recorded in the 22/23 season, and in other cases the Bianconeri have always won. We should also note the statistical metrics of the Lilies. Thus, Palladino's charges are 5.22 goals short on xGA, and 4.44 points more than they should statistically on xPTS. Interestingly enough, it is at the Artemio Franchi that Fiorentina are "overachieving" in the standings. Juventus are worth betting on based on several factors. For example, Fiorentina are on a very tight calendar and the important European Cup match on Thursday is clearly not conducive to their rest. A crushing defeat to Atalanta will not motivate the Old Lady, but will make them realise that they need to rectify the situation urgently. And even the history of head-to-head meetings is on the side of the Bianconeri. The proposed bet has a good chance of going in.
