On the program this saturday evening at the Stadio Franchi of Florence: Fiorentina - Juventus, one of the great classics of the Serie A, which surely also this time will not deceive the tifosi.
For Fiorentina and their coach Cesare Prandelli this will be one of two big games within one week, the second one being the Champions League return game against Bayern Munich. And for sure it will be a good test, even if Juve isn't playing at the level that they were expecting before the season (they are only on the 6th place with 41 points, alreay 17 points behind Inter...), but potentially they are still one of the big teams in the Serie A with players like ,Trezeguet, Diego or the eternal Del Piero.
Fiorentina are only on the 11rh place in the table (35 points), their ambitions are clearly much higher, but you still can't tell if they have left behind their crisis, as the results are not yet convincing. The last home game finished with a very bitter
1-2 defeat against Milan (with two goals scored in the last minutes by
Pato and
Huntelaar and some quite strange decisions by the referee). Maybe against Juve they will be a bit luckier, at least there's some good news before the game:
Gilardino has recovered from his knee injury and will be able to play.
