Kerim Alajbegović Has a Chance to Make Juventus History Tonight Kerim Alajbegović has the opportunity to write a special page in Juventus history tonight. Following his goal against Napoli, the young attacking player could achieve something with another strike against Fiorentina that no foreign Juventus player has ever managed before turning 20.
Juventus travel to the Artemio Franchi Stadium tonight at 20:45, for the 11th round of Serie A, looking to build on their victories over Napoli and AZ Alkmaar and continue their positive run.
Kerim on the Verge of a Record Juventus Has Never Seen
According to the club’s official statistical preview, Alajbegović would become the first foreign Juventus player to score in two consecutive Serie A matches before turning 20 if he finds the net in Florence.
After making an important contribution against Napoli, Kerim has another opportunity to show just how much he can mean to Luciano Spalletti’s side. The potential record adds extra significance to his performance, but for Juventus, the most valuable outcome would be a goal that helps secure another three points.
Kolo Muani Enjoys Away Games, Fiorentina Still Searching for Their First Home Win
Another potential weapon for Juventus could be Randal Kolo Muani. Five of his last six Serie A goals have come away from home, an encouraging statistic ahead of the trip to Florence.
Fiorentina have collected just two points from their first five home league matches this season, without recording a single victory. In addition, they have conceded at least two goals in nine of their first ten league fixtures. These statistics offer reasons for optimism, but Juventus will need to turn that advantage into results on the pitch.
McKennie and Celik Return, Cambiaso Misses the Match
Spalletti has additional options ahead of tonight’s encounter, with Weston McKennie and Zeki Celik both returning to availability. Andrea Cambiaso has not travelled due to a muscular problem, while Francisco Conceição is also unavailable.
Their absences mean the Juventus manager will once again have to carefully manage the options at his disposal.
A Third Consecutive Victory Could Bring More Confidence Ahead of the Break
For Juventus, the trip to Fiorentina represents an opportunity to follow up victories over Napoli and AZ Alkmaar with another positive result that would further strengthen the team’s confidence.
For Alajbegović, however, tonight’s encounter carries an additional personal challenge. Following his goal against Napoli, another strike would earn him a place in the club’s history and give Juventus fans yet another reason to be optimistic about his development.
