2026-2027 Serie A: Fiorentina vs. Juventus, Probable Lineups

Serie A action on Sunday wraps up with one of the most anticipated matchups of Matchday 11. On Sunday, November 8, at 8:45 p.m., Juventus visits Fiorentina at the Artemio Franchi Stadium in a match where crucial points are at stake for both teams. The Bianconeri, led by Luciano Spalletti, are seeking their third consecutive victory across the league and the Europa League to build on the signs of a resurgence seen in recent weeks. The Viola, on the other hand, aim to capitalize on home-field advantage and their renewed enthusiasm following their 4-2 win over Sassuolo.

The match is particularly important for Juventus, which cannot afford any more missteps in its pursuit of the top spots. Currently six points behind the Champions League spots, the Turin-based team needs to find more consistency. Fiorentina, too, coming off a difficult start to the season, is looking for results to move away from the dangerous areas of the standings.

Paolo Vanoli is expected to stick with most of the lineup that secured the win against Sassuolo. Up front, the attacking trio of Franco Mastantuono, Moise Pellegrino, and Albert Njie will start, with the goal of exploiting their speed and skill in the final third. In midfield, Fagioli appears to have the edge over Oulai for the playmaker role, flanked by Ndour and Brescianini. In defense, João Mario is expected to start on the left flank, while David De Gea will be in goal.

Luciano Spalletti, on the other hand, must manage a complicated situation regarding unavailable players. Juventus will have to do without several players, including Cambiaso, Yildiz, Thuram, Locatelli, and Nico Gonzalez. However, there is good news regarding Weston McKennie’s return, as he is ready to reclaim a starting spot. Up front, the Juventus coach is expected to rely on Kolo Muani and Woltemade, with Alajbegovic rounding out the attacking lineup.

Probable lineups:

Fiorentina (4-3-3): De Gea; Jiménez, Dragusin, Viery, João Mario; Ndour, Fagioli, Brescianini; Mastantuono, Pellegrino, Njie. Head Coach: Paolo Vanoli.

Juventus (3-4-3): Vicario; Gatti, Bremer, Lucumí; Kalulu, McKennie, Douglas Luiz, Cabal; Kolo Muani, Woltemade, Alajbegovic. Head Coach: Luciano Spalletti
