Fiorentina's 4-2 win away to Sassuolo on Monday provided badly needed relief for Paolo Vanoli, with four different goalscorers highlighting their attacking potential.
However, the Viola remain 16th with eight points, and conceding 23 goals in ten league matches has been their greatest weakness.
The Artemio Franchi has not provided much protection either, with Fiorentina taking only two points from their first five home league fixtures.
Despite those struggles, they have scored in four of those home games and could test a Juventus squad returning from a demanding European trip.
Juventus travel to Florence after Thursday's 2-1 Europa League victory at AZ Alkmaar, which followed their 2-0 league success against Napoli.
Teun Koopmeiners and Randal Kolo Muani struck before half-time in the Netherlands, although the Bianconeri had to withstand late pressure after conceding in the closing stages.
Spalletti faces another difficult selection decision, with Kenan Yildiz, Manuel Locatelli and Khephren Thuram among several absentees and Weston McKennie also a fitness concern.
Nevertheless, Juventus have conceded only ten Serie A goals and kept five clean sheets, offering a clear contrast to Fiorentina's defensive difficulties.
History offers the hosts encouragement, as they are unbeaten in their last four league meetings with Juventus, including a 2-0 win in Turin in May.
That record and the visitors' limited recovery time suggest a tough contest, but Juventus' renewed momentum could be enough for a narrow away win.
