Fiorentina will welcome Juventus to the Stadio Artemio Franchi in their final 2021-22 Serie A game on Saturday.
Juventus are comfortably in fourth place in the league standings, enjoying a seven-point lead over Lazio. So the outcome of this game won't impact their position in the standings. They have achieved the objective of qualifying for the UEFA Champions League despite missing out on the league title for two years.
However, there's a lot at stake for Fiorentina in this game, as they need to secure a win to be eligible for the UEFA Europa Conference League qualifiers. Just one win in their last five league games have seen them fall out of contention. They suffered a 4-1 defeat against Sampdoria at home last time around.
Trending
Juventus are also winless in their last two league outings, playing out a 2-2 draw against Lazio last time around.

Fiorentina vs Juventus Prediction
The hosts have four clean sheets in their last five home games in Serie A, recording four wins, though three of them have been by one-goal margins.
Juventus, meanwhile, have scored 12 goals in their last six away games in the league, and the odds of them finding the back of the net in this one look good. However, Fiorentina have one of the best home records in the league and should be able to put up a good fight against the Bianconeri.
Juventus might opt to give their academy players a start here, as the game is a mere formality for them, so Fiorentina might be able to earn at least a point. The hosts should eke out a low-scoring draw.
Prediction: Fiorentina 1-1 Juventus.
