Round 12: Fiorentina vs. Juventus match preview A whole lot has happened since the last time Juventus and Fiorentina played each other back in March. So much that it’s almost leaving you in the kind of thought process where you’re probably bound to forget something or just suddenly go “Oh, right! That happened, too!” It’s the kind of situation at each club that probably nobody wants to actually see the team they root for happen, but Juve and Fiorentina supporters have seen so much change over the last eight months that sometimes it just makes your head spin. ............ As Juventus heads to Florence for Saturday’s return from the November international break, both clubs are coping with their own difficult starts to the 2025-26 season that have seen plenty of panic and frustration ensue. Juventus are, somehow, just five points off league-leading Inter Milan and Roma but still sitting out of the top four — and that is the better of the two situations. That’s because you’ll have to keep on scrolling all the way down to the very bottom of the Serie A table to find Fiorentina — which, like Juventus, have recently made a managerial change after Stefano Pioli’s return to Florence went about as horribly as some feared it might. In short, you’ve got a Juventus team hoping to start something positive with Luciano Spalletti out of the international break, while new Fiorentina manager Paolo Vanoli is hoping that he can do something that Pioli didn’t do in Serie A this season. That would be win a game. Seems to be an interesting little Saturday in store, doesn’t it? Well, maybe. There is the simple fact that Juve are still trying to adjust to life under Spalletti and have only had a full squad training with him for the last few days of the international break. ............ It will, of course, be interesting just how much different Juve look after the break as compared to Spalletti’s first three games in charge before it. Is this when Spalletti rolls out a new formation that includes a four-man backline? Does he he continue to use the three-man defense and maybe make some changes up front and/or on the wings? How will he take advantage of the fact that Fiorentina also have a brand new manager and they are also probably still adjusting to life following Pioli’s brutal 11-game run domestically to start the season? ............ In the end, though, the biggest thing Juventus need to improve on is what has hampered them both before and after Spalletti took over as manager: their finishing in front of goal. It’s been the thing that has one of the biggest reasons as to why Juve’s last two games against Sporting CP and Torino in the Derby della Mole have been draws rather than wins that Spalletti can boast about coming out of the break. Fiorentina have the worst defense in Serie A. This isn’t some sort of statistical quirk because we’re working with a small sample size of two or three games. We’re nearly a third of the way through the 2025-26 season, and Fiorentina have allowed a Serie A-high 18 goals. Their goal differential of minus-9 is second-worst in the league behind only Hellas Verona, the team that sits right in front of them in 19th place. ............ TEAM NEWS The big development with Juventus’ traveling squad to Florence being announced is that Dusan Vlahovic has been deemed fit and is available to play against his former side. Just how he will be able to play remains to be seen, but the fact that he’s part of the traveling squad is a pretty good sign that he’ll play some sort of part against Fiorentina. ............ Bremer is still a couple of weeks away from making his return, with the big Brazilian reportedly targeting Juventus’ Dec. 7 trip to Naples to face Spalletti’s former squad Napoli as a potential comeback fixture. ............ You’ll notice that Juan Cabal is not on that list of injured players. The Colombian defender returned to training on Thursday after missing close to two months due to a hamstring injury he picked up against Villarreal. Same goes for Lloyd Kelly, who is back in the squad after missing the last couple of weeks due to a muscle injury. With Kelly back in the squad, Spalletti did note at his pre-match press conference that it could mean Teun Koopmeiners returns to more of his natural role as a midfielder. Or, as Spalletti put it, “a more advanced position.” ............ JUVENUTS PLAYER TO WATCH We don’t just how much Vlahovic will play against Fiorentina in his latest trip back to Florence. So, because of that, it feels rather appropriate that we at least dedicate some sort of time to the guy who could very well fill his spot. ............ A lot of the predicted lineups are thinking that it’s going to be Loïs Openda stepping in for Vlahovic against Fiorentina on Saturday evening. If that’s the case, then it will be interesting for multiple reasons: It’s not the natural guy you think would step in for Vlahovic. It’s something that might result in a formation change from Spalletti even if sticks with a three-man backline. Openda has not been very good since coming to Juventus. Sure, take what you want out of the statement that “Openda hasn’t scored a goal in seven months” because that’s a little bit of crafting the narrative around the calendar. ............ So, I remind you: Fiorentina have the worst defense in Serie A. Juventus under Spalletti have created chances but haven’t done a very good job of finishing those chances. It’s come with Vlahovic being in the lineup as compared to Openda, but the fact that they’re creating more chances under their new manager is a start. Now it’s about finishing those chances — and Openda could very well play a big part of that if he’s in the starting lineup. And you can only imagine what getting a goal right out of the international break could do for a player who has struggled in his first three months with his new club and probably isn’t riding high with confidence.

Bertoni does not think the current Juventus team can win the Scudetto Juventus remain hopeful that they can still challenge for the Scudetto this season as they work to regain strong form under Luciano Spalletti. The manager is the latest figure tasked with guiding the men in black and white back to a level of consistency that will allow them to compete effectively across all competitions. The club believe that the coming weeks will be decisive and that they must perform at a very high standard if they are to stay in contention. Despite their ambitions, Juventus have struggled throughout the campaign and have yet to find the stability required to sustain a winning run. This inconsistency has prevented them from building momentum and has raised questions about their readiness to meet the demands of a title challenge. ............ Spalletti continues to work on identifying the best formation to maximise the strengths of his current squad. The manager remains confident in his ability to bring out the team’s full potential, although early results have shown that significant work still lies ahead. Juventus understand that progress may take time, yet they also recognise that the season will not wait for them. ............ While some observers maintain that Juventus possess a squad capable of winning the Scudetto, not everyone shares this view. Questions have been raised about the overall strength of the group in comparison to its rivals. The belief that Juventus are a team in transition has gained traction, especially given the contrasting levels of performance displayed so far this season. ............ Daniel Bertoni offered a more critical assessment of Juventus and their title prospects saying, “I have seen them play this year. There are stronger teams, from Inter to Milan and Napoli, but also Roma. Now we will see how the coach handles things. In my day, Juventus dominated. Today, this team cannot dominate, they can only qualify for the Champions League. Either one of the Milanese teams or Napoli will win the Scudetto.” ............ .

Juventus is watching a Ligue 1 centre-back Juventus have been linked with a move for Charlie Cresswell as the defender continues to impress in Toulouse’s first team. The Englishman has emerged as one of the strongest performers in the French top flight over recent seasons, and his consistent displays have attracted the attention of several leading European clubs. Many believe he would fit seamlessly into a more demanding environment, and Juventus have now joined the growing list of admirers. ............ Juventus have been tracking Cresswell for some time, and the men in black and white may consider making a formal approach when the transfer window reopens. His performances have attracted interest not only from Italian clubs but also from several teams in England, emphasising the growing recognition of his ability at the highest level. Juventus will feel encouraged by the fact that Comolli previously worked at Toulouse and continues to maintain strong links with the Ligue 1 club, something that could provide a valuable advantage should negotiations begin. ............ For Cresswell, the opportunity to test himself at one of the most prominent clubs in Europe would undoubtedly be an attractive step in his career. The prospect of playing in a challenging league, supported by an experienced defensive unit, could accelerate his adaptation to life at the Allianz Stadium. Lloyd Kelly, who already possesses familiarity with the demands of top-level football, would be able to assist him in settling quickly and adjusting to the expectations placed on Juventus defenders. ............ .

Ederson back on the Juventus wish list amid Atalanta uncertainty Atalanta midfielder Ederson is again being linked with a possible January offer from Juventus, as his contract is due to expire in June 2027. The Brazil international had already been a target for several clubs over the summer, including Manchester United, Chelsea and Inter. ............ They are boosted by the fact that there is still no progress in working out a new contract beyond the current deal, which only runs to June 2027. Juve’s first choice is Sandro Tonali, but Newcastle United have no intention of letting the Italy international leave, and certainly not mid-season. ............ Juventus would need to pay the full asking price for Ederson, who is seen as a replacement for Manuel Locatelli in Luciano Spalletti’s midfield. That is going to be at least €50m. ............ .

Koopmeiners set to return to midfield as Juventus injury crisis eases Teun Koopmeiners has recently featured as part of Juventus’ defence in several matches, as it appears the midfielder has found a temporary role in which he can perform effectively. Since joining Juve from Atalanta, Koopmeiners has faced challenges adapting to the team’s demands, and Luciano Spalletti has been closely monitoring his progress to help him regain form. ............ With the recent returns of Lloyd Kelly and Juan Cabal from injury, Juventus now have more defensive options available. This has allowed Spalletti to consider returning Koopmeiners to his more natural position in midfield, where his creativity and vision can be better utilised. Spalletti explained his approach to the midfielder’s deployment and the reasoning behind the temporary change. He said, “Playmaker? Generally speaking, it’s not the role that changes a great player. A great player always brings his style to any position. He shows that he understands that situation too; a modern player knows how to adapt. We need to understand where we want to exploit his qualities. I think he’s shown his qualities in these three games. If I take a step back, he was good in the areas of the pitch where I thought he’d struggle the most, as an attacking midfielder like Gasp used to make him play. I’m happy he responded this way because it wasn’t a given that he showed off his personality. He brings experience and personality to the team. We’ve recovered some strong defenders now, Kelly and Cabal, so there’s a chance he’ll be in midfield.” ............ Koopmeiners’ ability to adapt to defensive duties while maintaining his influence on the game has provided Juventus with valuable flexibility. Spalletti’s experiments with positioning demonstrate the importance of having players capable of performing multiple roles. ............ .

Official: Spalletti confirms 24-man Juventus squad to take on Fiorentina Luciano Spalletti has confirmed his squad of 24 travelling Juventus players to take on Fiorentina at the Stadio Artemio Franchi in Serie A on Saturday afternoon, which includes Dusan Vlahovic despite recent concerns surrounding his availability. ............ It is a case of one in, one out for the Bianconeri at the back: Lloyd Kelly returns after missing the last three matches prior to the international break, but Daniele Rugani is expected to miss around three weeks with a soleus injury. ............ Juan Cabal is also back in the Juventus squad following a hamstring injury that has kept him out of action since the beginning of October. ............ Next Gen defenders Jonas Rouhi, Filippo Scaglia and Pedro Felipe have been called up for the Fiorentina clash. ............ .

Spalletti takes a new approach to solving Juventus’ goalscoring problems Juventus continue to face a recurring goalscoring problem that has troubled them across recent seasons, creating a major obstacle as they attempt to re-establish consistent form. The Bianconeri are widely recognised as one of Italy’s most prestigious clubs, yet they remain unable to convert chances with the regularity expected at the highest level. Although many teams across Europe struggle in different areas, the central issue for Juventus is clearly their lack of goalscoring efficiency. ............ The men in black and white possess several highly regarded attackers, yet the team frequently finds itself unable to make full use of its offensive potential. This ongoing difficulty has contributed to their mixed results and has been one of the main reasons behind the dismissal of their last two managers. Juventus still believe in the quality within their squad, but the inconsistency in front of goal prevents them from taking full control of matches. Supporters have often watched their team dominate possession and create situations without finding the decisive finish. ............ Luciano Spalletti is aware of the seriousness of the issue, yet he has taken a broader and more structural view of how to address it. Rather than focusing solely on correcting individual shortcomings, he believes the solution lies in reinforcing collective stability. ............ He said, “We always refer to numbers, we can’t help but use them. Then the real work is managing to find our own stability where we can build on the team’s strengths, not trying to correct this or that. It’s about creating something recognised by the players that will be the basis for staying above this line. What I told them recently: I’m in line with what I thought of them after meeting and seeing them. I’m happy to have found what I was hoping for, and we have so many things, and they’re important. What we need to focus on right now is recognising these moments, knowing how to put them into practice at the right times. We have almost everything.” ............ .

Spalletti: Juventus need ‘more time’ for new system Juventus coach Luciano Spalletti is delighted by the players’ availability, but insists he’ll need ‘more time’ to work on a four-man defence. Juventus return to the pitch after the international break on Saturday, visiting Fiorentina at the Stadio Franchi. ............ “We have worked, but I didn’t have many players available. With those who were there, we focused on things that I believe are important,” Spalletti said. “Yesterday, I looked at something new with the entire team; they were focused and showed availability. Somebody came from a 10-hour flight, but still wanted to be there. We had to be cautious with some of them; somebody worked separately, but today everyone is available.” ............ “We should not be affected by bad moments because we might doubt our quality, and we must use it in certain moments of the game. It’s a work on the team as a unit: what to do at which moment of the game. It’s hard to do, and we are working mostly on this.” ............ “Koopmeiners has proved that he can adapt to that situation, and a modern footballer knows how to do it. I’m happy he reacted positively because it was not guaranteed. He has given his contribution in terms of experience and personality. We have recovered strong defenders like Kelly and Cabal, so there could be a chance to use him in midfield.” Safe to say Spalletti doesn’t expect a warm reception at the Stadio Franchi, especially as the Juventus coach. “I know the environment well because I’ve spent many years there. I’ll accept every situation because I’ve been there already,” he said. “I’ll enter the field as the Juventus coach and will accept everything. Out of love for this sport, we must show the best of us, not the worst. I’ve always respected everyone. I’m serene in being the Juventus coach also in the Fiorentina stadium, and I expect a great game from my players. It will be a tough game for us.” ............ There are reports that Juventus have put contract talks with Kenan Yildiz on hold, but Spalletti didn’t want to speak about the Turkish star’s future in Turin. “I won’t discuss the renewal thing, is not up to me. I look at it, but the club knows what to do,” he said. “To me, it’s easy with Yildiz, he’s the one who breaks the systems and patterns. Whoever links up with Yildiz links up with the rest of the team. He knows how to stay in the team and he has leadership skills, so it’s the best for me.” .

Parma will demand a huge fee if Juventus insists on their player Adrián Bernabé is reportedly one of the players Juventus are keen to sign during the January transfer window, and the midfielder himself may be open to the move. He has established himself as one of Parma’s most important players, but the prospect of joining a larger Italian club is likely to be appealing. The Bianconeri are currently assessing how to strengthen their midfield, and Bernabé has emerged as a prime target. However, a transfer for the player could prove complicated. ............ Parma consider Bernabé too important to sell during the winter window. Nevertheless, the report emphasises that every player has a price, and if Juventus continue to pursue the midfielder, the club is likely to demand a substantial fee for his services. This could make a January move challenging, and the Bianconeri may have to weigh whether it is worth meeting Parma’s valuation. If an agreement cannot be reached in the winter, Juventus may have to wait until the summer to make a serious bid. Conversely, if they find an alternative solution to their midfield needs during the campaign, the urgency to sign Bernabé in the summer could diminish. ............ Over the next few weeks, it is expected to become clearer whether Juventus will make a concerted effort to secure Bernabé’s signature during the January window. ............ .

Juventus and Man Utd will fight for impressive teenage striker Mohamed Kader Meïté has developed a reputation as one of the finest youngsters in France, and Juventus are reportedly monitoring the Rennes teenager. The 18-year-old has been in excellent form over the last few seasons and has shown consistent development, attracting attention from several top European clubs. Juve see Meïté as an ideal addition to their first team due to his youth, potential, and evident hunger to succeed. ............ The attacker is reportedly being followed by several other prominent clubs, with Manchester United among them, which is expected to provide significant competition for Juventus. The Premier League side is investing heavily in its squad and has identified Meïté as a player it would like to secure, meaning that the Bianconeri will face a serious challenge in any potential transfer. ............ Should Meïté join Juventus, he would enter a system known for integrating young talent into the first team, offering him the platform to develop and perform at the highest level. At 18 years old, his trajectory suggests that he could make a significant impact if given the right environment, which Juventus are well-placed to provide. ............ .

Juventus expected lineup vs Fiorentina: Who will lead the attack? With the November international break now in the rearview mirror, Juventus will resume their Serie A campaign with an away contest against Fiorentina. The Bianconeri will undoubtedly receive a hostile reception that the purple crowds preserve for their most hated rivals, as Paolo Vanoli makes his first home appearance as Fiorentina manager. ............ The biggest dilemma that Luciano Spalletti has to settle before the contest concerns the identity of his starting striker. The 66-year-old has been exclusively relying on Dusan Vlahovic in his lineup. While the manager is still hoping to field the Serbian from the get-go, the latter will have to pass a late athletic test. But in the meantime, Lois Openda is the favourite to spearhead the charge. After all, Jonathan David was the latest player to return from international duty, and had a long flight from North America. ............ While there have been growing talks about a change to a 4-3-3 system, Spalletti is expected to maintain the 3-4-2-1 for the time being. Therefore, Kenan Yildiz and Francisco Conceicao should support the Belgian attacker upfront, while Weston McKennie and Andrea Cambiaso should occupy the full-back roles. ............ Juventus Probable XI (3-4-2-1): Di Gregorio; Kalulu, Gatti, Koopmeiners; McKennie, Locatelli, Thuram, Cambiaso; Conceicao, Yildiz; Openda. .

Juventus receive double injury boost in Thursday’s training session Juventus coach Luciano Spalletti has partially recovered the services of Dusan Vlahovic and Juan Cabal ahead of Saturday’s clash against Fiorentina. Luckily for the Bianconeri, they escaped the international break almost unscathed, with their ten players returning healthy to Turin. The only one who picked up a physical problem during his time away was Vlahovic, who suffered muscle fatigue in the aftermath of Serbia’s contest against England at Wembley. ............ The manager received an important boost on Thursday, as Vlahovic partially returned to group training. ............ Moreover, Juan Cabal has also resumed training. Like Vlahovic, the Colombian defender only spent a portion of the session working with his teammates. However, the report is confident that the 24-year-old will receive a call-up this weekend. Juventus had already received encouraging news on Wednesday, with Lloyd Kelly making a full recovery. The Englishman is now ready and raring to go, but it remains to be seen whether he’ll be immediately reinstated in the starting line-up or if Spalletti will decide to confirm Teun Koopmeiners in his stead. ............ .

Juventus approve new capital increase: what it means for the club Juventus have confirmed that the Board of Directors has approved a new capital increase worth around €100 million, although the final figure will only be known when the operation formally closes. The club will issue up to 37.9 million new shares, equal to about 10% of current shares, and sell them directly to institutional and qualified investors through an accelerated bookbuilding process. ............ The capital increase is designed to support Juventus’ 2024-27 Strategic Plan, strengthening the club’s finances, reducing debt, improving liquidity, and giving the club more stability while it continues its sporting rebuild. ............ Minority shareholder Tether, holding 11.5%, has also agreed to participate and may even subscribe to any shares left unallocated. In practical terms, the injection of fresh capital gives Juventus more financial breathing room, helps protect the club against future losses, and stabilises its position ahead of upcoming transfer windows. ............ .

Preview:Fiorentina vs Juventus - prediction, team news, lineups After a stuttering start to life under new management, Juventus will aim to relaunch their Serie A campaign on Saturday, when they visit rock-bottom Fiorentina at Stadio Franchi. While Juve have struggled to meet expectations this season, their hosts went into the international break still awaiting a first league win. Match preview Even taking three points off their favourite victims proved beyond Juventus last time out, as Italy's most successful club failed to beat city rivals Torino, leaving them sixth in the Serie A standings. Though it burst into life during an open second half, the Derby della Mole finished goalless, as Juve pair Kenan Yildiz and Weston McKennie came closest to breaking the deadlock in Turin. Following on from an overdue win against Cremonese and a 1-1 draw with Sporting Lisbon, there were precious few signs that the Old Lady is primed for revival. New Bianconeri boss Luciano Spalletti is still unbeaten so far, but the side he recently inherited have won only two of their last 12 matches. With just three points on the board from four Champions League fixtures, Spalletti certainly has a big task on his hands: reaching the knockout phase and securing a top-four Serie A finish are minimum targets. Juve's mercurial coach must now visit his home region of Tuscany, aiming to beat the local rivals of former club Empoli - neither he nor his team will be afforded a warm welcome. ............ Fiorentina Serie A form: L L D L L D Fiorentina form (all competitions): W D L L L D Juventus Serie A form: D L L W W D Juventus form (all competitions): L L W W D D Team News Juventus are monitoring top scorer Dusan Vlahovic, after he returned from international duty nursing an adductor problem, but the former Fiorentina striker could still start in Florence. While Juan Cabal and Lloyd Kelly both returned to full training during the break, Spalletti is still missing Bremer, whose fellow centre-back Daniele Rugani has just been ruled out by a muscular injury. Should he be passed fit, Vlahovic will vie with Jonathan David and Lois Openda for selection up front, while Fiorentina's attack could be led by ex-Juve forward Moise Kean. ............ Fiorentina possible starting lineup: De Gea; Pongracic, Mari, Ranieri; Dodo, Mandragora, Nicolussi Caviglia, Sohm, Fortini; Gudmundsson, Kean Juventus possible starting lineup: Di Gregorio; Kalulu, Gatti, Koopmeiners; McKennie, Thuram, Locatelli, Cambiaso; Conceicao, Yildiz; Vlahovic We say: Fiorentina 0-2 Juventus Having picked up just one point on home turf - while conceding at a rate of two goals per game - Fiorentina will be under pressure to produce better against their old foes from Turin. Lying outside Serie A's top four, Juventus are also feeling the heat - but the Bianconeri are better equipped to score at least once. .

Why Kenan Yildiz is in no hurry to pen a new Juventus contract While Juventus are keen to tie down Kenan Yildiz with a new and improved contract, the player is happy to bide his time. The 20-year-old currently earns around €1.5 million, a figure that doesn’t reflect his elemental role at the club. And yet, the young man is in no rush to sign an extension that should triple his current salary. ............ Yildiz is primarily focused on doing well on the pitch and improving his skillset. Therefore, he considers the ongoing contract talks a mere distraction he could do without. Moreover, the youngster feels that earning a top salary would place a bigger burden on his shoulders, as he will be required to make an instant jump in terms of quality. So while his father and his entourage will certainly continue to discuss the situation with Damien Comolli and the rest of the Juventus management, the attacker wants to do his talking on the pitch. ............ On a related note, Juventus remain highly optimistic, as they believe they should be able to strike a deal with Yildiz and his representatives in the coming weeks or months.

Corvino confirms Juventus interest in Lecce defender, reveals when they can sign him Lecce technical director Pantaleo Corvino revealed that Juventus are among several clubs vying for the signature of Tiago Gabriel. The Bianconeri are currently monitoring several young centre-backs, and the Portuguese is one of the profiles reported to be on Damien Comolli’s shortlist. The 20-year-old is a Sporting CP youth product who had experiences at Setubal and Estrela Amadora before joining Lecce in January 2025. ............ He has thus far made 11 appearances in Serie A, including 10 as a starter, and scored a goal in the process. ............ “Many people like Tiago Gabriel, not just Juve,” said the experienced director in his interview. “The lad is strong, we had patience and luck. But be careful: he’s staying here for the season. We considered him too important for our objectives; we mustn’t lose sight of him.” Gabriel’s contract with Lecce is valid until June 2027, but both parties have the option to trigger a two-year extension. ............ .

Juventus on alert as Brozovic could be heading towards free agency Juventus are reportedly keeping close tabs on the Marcelo Brozovic transfer saga, as Al-Nassr are struggling to lock him down with a new deal. The midfielder spent eight years at Inter, before following Cristiano Ronaldo to the Saudi giants in the summer of 2023. ............ The contract talks between Brozovic and Al-Nassr have stalled, with the two parties unable to find an accord. The Saudi Pro League giants would like to keep the experienced midfielder, but only on a reduced salary. Therefore, the Croatian is reluctant to accept, although he feels fairly comfortable in Saudi Arabia. Brozovic could thus consider some of his other options, which may include Juventus, who are reportedly monitoring the situation. The former Dinamo Zagreb star arguably hit his peak when he worked under Luciano Spalletti at Inter between 2017 and 2019. ............ While Brozovic’s quality is undeniable, one might wonder if he still has what it takes to cope with the pace of one of the biggest leagues in Europe, not to mention the Champions League. This has been a common concern regarding players who dwell too long in peripheral leagues. Even though the Saudi Pro League has been enjoying a meteoric rise since 2023, the pace and quality are not comparable to the Italian top flight. ............ .

Two reasons why Xhaka’s Juventus move is unlikely Granit Xhaka has been linked with a January move to Juventus, but the Swiss midfielder is happy at Sunderland, and the Bianconeri will be reluctant to make a big investment for a player who is well over 30, reports Alfredo Pedullà. ............ “Xhaka is happy at Sunderland, and I’m not sure Juventus can invest so much money in a player who is no longer young,” Pedullà said. “Juventus will decide later on what to do. They must hire a new sporting director; there’s still a bit of confusion.” ............ “I expect Spalletti to switch to a four-man defence, a 4-3-3 system,” he added. “From now on, I expect to see Spalletti’s hands, earning many points and showing the coach’s identity.” ............ .
