Who knows where Juventus will be or what they’ll be fighting for by the time their season draws to a close with Vlahovic returning to the Artemio Franchi for more hostilities.

Contests between these two sides have been hard-fought as of late. La Viola completed the double over Juve last season, winning 3-0 in Turin, and it’s taking the Old Lady two last-gasp goals to overcome Vincenzo Italiano’s ever-improving outfit in their two meetings this term.

Thus, Juventini will be hopeful that their side are fighting for very little by the time this fixture rolls around – unless the Scudetto is still in reach, of course.

Italiano’s Viola match up well with Allegri’s Juventus, and a resentful Franchi crowd will be desperate to see their side scupper the Bianconeri’s season at the last.
