Juventus FC 0-2 ACF Fiorentina: Serie A Match Report

An upset in Turin: Juventus 0-2 Fiorentina. Juventus went in third on 68 points with a +29 goal difference from 36 games — a Champions League-place side at home and a clear favourite against a Fiorentina team 15th on 38 points and a negative differential (-11). The form line pointed one way; the result went the other. Fiorentina won by two and kept Juventus off the scoresheet entirely — a comprehensive away upset against a side with far more to play for.

A two-goal away win with a clean sheet, against a top-three host, is the standout shock of the round.

Dropping all three points at home was a costly slip for Juventus with the European places still being decided in the closing rounds — a result that hands initiative to their direct rivals. For Fiorentina, a clean-sheet win at a Champions League contender was the kind of late-season scalp that lifts a mid-table campaign and eases any lingering caution about the table below them.

Our pre-match call was Juventus to win at 1.75, reading the home side's superior position and a struggling visitor as the platform for three points. Fiorentina ignored the script and won 0-2. The pick needed a Juventus victory and got the opposite. Verdict: lost — a justified favourite-at-home angle undone by a genuine upset.
