Juventus take on the visitors Fiorentina in the second leg of Coppa Italia semifinals. The first leg result – 1-0. The match will be played on Wednesday, April 20th at Allianz Stadium (Turin).
Juventus will pay maximum attention to this match. This is actually the last chance to make the season at least relatively satisfactory. The irony is that Allegri will no longer be able to achieve more than Andrea Pirlo a year ago. Then the young specialist, who spent the first year of independent work, could not keep the Scudetto, moreover, the grandee took 4th place with great difficulty, taking advantage of Napoli's unexpected misfire in the last round. Now the Old Lady has already managed to fail in the Champions League, losing in Turin already in the 1/8 finals with a score of 0-3. The Super Cup was lost to Inter due to a last-minute goal by Alexis Sanchez. In Serie A, under the new-old mentor, for a long time it was not possible even to rise to the quartet. The failure in 2022 of Atalanta helped, and now the Bianconeri could at least become 4th. It is almost impossible to go higher, especially considering how the club plays in April.

Fiorentina was only 13th in the final standings - but last summer they brought in a new coach, Vincenzo Italiano, who made a name for himself with Spezia - lifted and kept the debutant in Serie A. In Florence, he also confirms his class, with him, the violets turned into a contender for European cups. The team is especially good in the spring, when in the last 5 rounds there were only victories, with the exception of 1-1 with the current champion, Inter. Recently, even Napoli was beaten on the road, followed by 1-0 with Venice. This allowed to rise to 6th place, which would guarantee access to the Europa League. And, of course, they want to achieve the maximum in the cup.
This season, Juventus won 1-0 both in the cup and in the championship. But in the last championship, 2020/2021, Fiorentina gained 4 points out of 6 possible, including defeating the opponent 3-0. Juventus have a lot of personnel problems: McKenny, Locatelli, Chiesa, Artur, Cayo Jorge and Ake are out of the game. Fiorentina will definitely not play Castrovilli, Bonaventura is questionable. Bookmakers believe that Juventus can win the second leg as well. But Allegri needs a result, so we are waiting for a rather boring meeting and total under 2.5 goals
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored.
