Fiorentina vs. Juventus brings Matchday 11 to a thrilling close

After victories last time out, Fiorentina and Juventus are both looking to build momentum in this match between two classic Italian football rivals.

The final match before the international break brings Serie A Enilive Matchday 11 to a close with a meeting between historic rivals Fiorentina and Juventus.

They are looking for the consistency required to climb the table and get back into contention for a place in the Champions League.
