Juventus vs Fiorentina Player Ratings: 7/10 Ronaldo, Chiesa only bright spots; irresponsible Cuadrado gets 2
Betting Analysis
Juventus suffered a shock 3-0 defeat at home to low-lying Fiorentina as their unbeaten run in the Serie A came to end just before the winter break.
Juventus suffered their first defeat of the season at the hands of Cesare Prandelli’s Fiorentina, who won their first match since the Italian tactician took charge. Dusan Vlahovic opened the scoring as early as the third minute, when Franck Ribery played him in through the centre-backs.
Vlahovic took the ball wide and did the rest, chipping Wojciech Szczesny for the opener. It was Juventus that looked to respond positively, but things changed when Juan Cuadrado picked up a red card when he unnecessarily slid in after a long touch and caught Gaetano Castrovilli above the calf.

Juventus vs Fiorentina Preview: Probable Lineups, Prediction, Tactics, Team News & Key Stats
Betting Analysis
Juventus host low-lying Fiorentina on Tuesday as they look to build pressure on Serie A leaders AC Milan and end 2020 on a high.
Juventus have seen themselves have an upturn in form since the disappointing draw versus Benevento, winning five out of the subsequent six games and drawing one. The pick of these results has been the win over Barcelona and the most recent 4-0 drubbing of Parma.
With only one game to go before the holiday period, Juventus would be hoping to continue their improved run and close the gap to the Milan clubs. Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored yet another crucial brace in the last game, will play an important role as Juventus look to earn another three points.

Juventus Player Ratings vs Genoa: 8/10 Dybala the standout; Ronaldo among five to get 7
Betting Analysis
Paulo Dybala was impressive while Cristiano Ronaldo delivered late on as Juventus beat Genoa 3-1 at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium on Sunday.
The first half was a largely drab affair, with chances flowing few and far between, even as Juventus dominated the proceedings. The
Bianconeri started piling on the pressure post the interval and were ahead just 12 minutes into the second period when Paulo Dybala produced a fine finish to make it 1-0.
Shortly after, though, Genoa restored parity through former Juventus man Stefano Sturaro, who converted Luca Pellegrini’s deep cross from close range. Thereafter, the visitors intently pushed forward in search of their second but were constantly denied by an inspired Mattia Perin and a couple of offside calls.
