- Venue: Allianz Stadium, Turin
- Fixture: Juventus vs Hellas Verona (Serie A)
Match Preview
The Old Lady welcomes Hellas Verona to the Allianz Stadium in what promises to be an exciting Serie A clash. Juventus, currently sitting in 4th place, will be looking to solidify their position in the Champions League spots. Meanwhile, Verona, in 14th, are desperate for points to avoid being sucked into a relegation battle.
Juventus come into this match on the back of a solid run of form, having won three of their last five league games. Their home record has been particularly impressive, with four wins in their last five at the Allianz Stadium. Thiago Motta’s men will be eager to continue this momentum and close the gap on the teams above them.
Verona, on the other hand, have been struggling for consistency. With just one win in their last five Serie A outings, they find themselves perilously close to the drop zone. However, they did manage to secure a surprise victory in their last away game, which could give them a glimmer of hope against the Turin giants.
Historically, Juventus have dominated this fixture, winning 18 out of 28 matches against Verona, with Verona managing just four victories2. This head-to-head advantage, combined with Juventus’ strong home form, suggests that the hosts will be confident of securing a win. However, Verona’s ability to cause upsets on the road means that Juventus cannot afford to be complacent. The visitors will need to capitalize on any mistakes made by Juventus and exploit their defensive vulnerabilities if they are to leave Turin with any points.
Key Players
Juventus:
- Dusan Vlahovic: The Serbian striker has been in fine form, leading the scoring charts for Juventus with 13 goals this season.
Verona:
- Darko Lazovic: The experienced midfielder leads the team in assists and will be key to Verona’s chances of causing an upset.
Prediction
Given Juventus’ strong home record and Verona’s struggles this season, we expect the hosts to come out on top. However, Verona have shown they can surprise on their day, so it may not be a straightforward victory for the Bianconeri.
Predicted score: Juventus 2-1 Verona
