Fiorentina-Juventus (8 November 2026)
Date of the event:
Fiorentina-Juventus is the match of the eleventh round of the 2026-2027 Serie A championship. The match is played on Sunday 8 November 2026, with kick-off at 8.45pm, at the Stadio Artemio Franchi in Florence [1][2].
The context
Luciano Spalletti's Juventus arrive at the Tuscan away match on the back of two consecutive wins: a 2-0 home victory over Napoli in the league, with goals from Alajbegovic and Boga, and a 2-1 win away to AZ Alkmaar in the Europa League [2]. The black-and-white side are looking for continuity even away from Turin, just days after their European fixture in the Netherlands [2].
Paolo Vanoli's Fiorentina, by contrast, come into the match on the back of a 4-2 win over Sassuolo [2]. The purple side, battling to pull away from the bottom of the table, have shown defensive difficulties, having conceded at least two goals in nine of the first ten league matchdays [2]. At the Franchi, Fiorentina have not yet won in this Serie A season: in their first five home matches they have taken two draws and three defeats, for a total of two points [1][2].
Head-to-head record
Sunday's match is the 175th meeting between the two sides in Serie A: the overall record favours Juventus, with 82 wins against Fiorentina's 37 and 55 draws [1][2]. In the last four league meetings, however, Fiorentina have remained unbeaten, with two wins and two draws [1][2]. The last meeting played at the Franchi, on 22 November 2025, ended 1-1, with a goal from Kostic in first-half injury time followed by an equaliser from Mandragora early in the second half [2]. Counting all official competitions played in Florence, the two sides have met 98 times, with 33 wins for Fiorentina, 38 draws and 27 wins for Juventus; Juventus's last win at the Franchi dates back to November 2023, decided by a goal from Fabio Miretti [2].
The line-ups
Fiorentina take the field in a 4-3-2-1 formation: De Gea in goal, a defence made up of Jimenez, Dragusin, Viery and João Mario, a midfield with Ndour, Fagioli and Oulai, and an attacking pair of Mastantuono and Njie behind sole striker Pellegrino [2]. Vanoli's unavailable players include Pongracic, Ranieri, Parisi and Atta [1].
Juventus respond with a 4-4-2: Vicario between the posts, a defence of Kalulu, Bremer, Lucumí and Cabal, a midfield made up of McKennie, Douglas Luiz, Koopmeiners and Alajbegovic, and an attacking pair formed by Kolo Muani and Woltemade [2]. Spalletti has to do without Locatelli, Thuram, Yildiz, Nico Gonzalez and Grabara [1]. The match is broadcast exclusively on DAZN [2].
