Fiorentina’s attack has gone quiet very suddenly, as the team has been prolific throughout the calendar year, with elite sides like Manchester City and Real Madrid being the only teams in the top five European leagues to score more goals in 2023 across all competitions.
For the 203-24 campaign alone, Fiorentina has netted 30 times in 15 outings. Despite its recent struggles in the league, the team has amazingly still averaged two goals per game over the last three matches across all competitions. There’s clearly a lot of attacking talent in the team, and it should be only a matter of time before the goals start flowing again in the league.
Viola has gotten goals from all over the place, but Nicolas Gonzalez and Giacomo Bonaventura have been the stand-out players for the team in 2023-24. The former has tallied seven goals and two assists in 14 appearances this season, and Bonaventura has found the back of the net four times, meaning he’s just one goal short of matching his league tally from last season.
Bonaventura has also carried his club form over to international football and last month became the oldest player ever to score his first goal for Italy. The 34-year-old has been aging like fine wine, and even Napoli got a glimpse of Bonaventura’s quality recently when Fiorentina shocked the Scudetto holders with a 3-1 away win.
Juventus is pretty much the exact opposite of the Fiorentina team, building its success on a rock-solid defense. Across all the top five leagues, Nice (4) is the only side to concede fewer goals than Juventus (6) this season. Juve boss Massimiliano Allegri often gets criticized for his approach, but it’s lifted the team back into the title race this season, and he has no reason to change the style of play as long as it brings results.
Allegri’s men have suffered just one league defeat this season, and there have been a couple of very emotional victories for the team as of late, with Juventus winning the first Turin derby of the season and defeating AC Milan on the road. A positive result at the Stadio Artemio Franchi on Sunday would give the team another boost as the Old Lady tries to keep up with Inter Milan at the top.
