After the November international break, Juventus returns to domestic competition for a demanding match at Fiorentina. Both teams enter the game with different objectives but share the need to improve their performances. Fiorentina has yet to win in Serie A, and after the unsuccessful return of Stefano Pioli, the team is now led by new coach Paolo Vanoli. Under Luciano Spalletti, Juventus is seeking tactical stability and aims to prove it can once again compete for the top positions.
In recent months, both clubs have undergone significant changes. Coaching replacements, dissatisfaction among supporters, and the arrival of players who have not yet met expectations have shaped the current situation. Juventus remains close to the league leaders, while Fiorentina has dropped to the bottom of the standings and urgently needs to end its run of poor results.
Spalletti had limited time to work with the full squad during the break, as many players were away on international duty. Juventus is expected to adjust its formation and try to exploit the weaknesses of an opponent with the worst defense in the league. Fiorentina has conceded eighteen goals, and its negative goal difference is among the poorest in the competition.
A major development for Juventus fans is the return of Dušan Vlahović, who is ready to play against his former club after recovering from injury. Daniele Rugani will miss the match due to a muscle problem, and Gleison Bremer is still working toward full fitness. Defenders Juan Cabal and Lloyd Kelly are back in the lineup, giving Spalletti more options for the defensive setup.
In attack, if Vlahović is not ready to play the entire match, Loïs Openda is expected to get his chance. The Belgian forward has yet to find the net, and facing the league’s weakest defense could be an ideal opportunity to end his scoring drought. Juventus has improved in creating chances under Spalletti but continues to struggle with finishing. Efficiency in front of goal will be the key to success at the Artemio Franchi Stadium.
The match will take place on Saturday, November 22, 2025, at 6 p.m. local time in Florence. Fans can follow the game on television or streaming platforms according to their region. Juventus needs a win to strengthen its position near the top of the table, while Fiorentina will fight for its first league points under the new coach. Everything suggests an exciting contest full of intensity and football drama.
