Serie A Week 30 - 2/4/05 (18.00)
Fiorentina - Juventus
Stadio Franchi
Juventus’ next step in the neck and neck race for the Scudetto comes at the home of one of their bitter rivals. Recent history suggests it will be a win for the Bianconeri as they have not been beaten at the home of the Viola since 1998. Having watched their eight point lead over Milan evaporate, Juve will be desperate not to allow their hated foes the opportunity to cause them to slip behind in the race for Serie A.
Fiorentina stand just two points clear of the relegation zone and Dino Zoff, a Juventus legend, will be equally keen to see his side take the points to ease fears of a quick return to Serie B. They will have to manage without striker Valeri Bojinov, who is still sidelined with a thigh strain, and former Juve striker Fabrizio Miccoli who has an Achilles injury. Nigerian midfielder Christian Obodo and defender William Viali are both suspended.
Juventus are still without Uruguayan midfielder Ruben Olivera who is suspended after his red card in the win over Chievo and striker Oliver Kapo is doubtful with a muscular injury. Olivera scored the goal that sealed Juve’s 1-0 win at the Delle Alpi in November.
Juventus have won five of their last six matches since the defeat to Palermo, while Fiorentina have scored twice in their last four outings. Juve’s defence has been their strength in the last month as they have conceded just once in their last five games.
This match will also have an extra twist given that Enzo Maresca and Giorgio Chiellini will want to prove their worth against the Turin giants – given that they were allowed to join the Tuscan club on loan in the summer along with Miccoli.
