Fiorentina vs Juventus Prediction: Will tournament motivation help the Violets beat the Bianconeri?

Fiorentina has an excellent chance of qualifying for the Europa League before the last round of the championship. However, they will need to beat Juventus at home to complete their task. Can they do it? There are several options for betting at once.

Vincenzo Italiano's side comes into the championship's final round in seventh place, which means they are now entitled to play in the Conference League next season. However, there are no guarantees for Fiorentina. If the Violets fail to beat Juventus and Atalanta and can not manage to defeat Empoli in the same game, then they will not be entitled to play in the European competitions.

Interestingly, Fiorentina could have had no trouble reaching the international stage in the last round. However, the team has lost four of their previous five games. Milan, the league leaders, and Udinese, Salernitana, and Sampdoria had beaten Fiorentina 1:4 on the previous matchday.

Massimiliano Allegri's side improved significantly in the second half. But in the end, they failed to win a single trophy. The Bianconeri were essentially denied a chance of success in all but the UEFA Champions League by one team: Inter. In January, they beat Juventus in the Supercup and came back stronger in the domestic league in April when Juve had a realistic chance of qualifying for the title race. In mid-May, they beat them in the Italian Cup final. Juventus will now be prepared exclusively for their next fixture against Inter.

Juve comes into the last round meeting against Fiorentina with a three-match winning streak. Apart from the cup final, the Bianconeri have suffered an away loss to Genoa and a home defeat to Lazio.

Unlike Fiorentina, Juventus no longer have any tournament goals. If the Florentines can finish seventh or eighth at the end of the championship, then the Turin side is sure to finish fourth.

The lack of goals, however, doesn't make Juventus any weaker. In the last two rounds, Genoa and Lazio managed to score against the Bianconeri only in the final minutes. Fiorentina isn't motivated to avoid losing. So why should the Florentines be able to beat Juventus? The bookmakers seem to be wrong about Fiorentina being favorites for the game.
