Verona vs Juventus preview & prediction

Match preview

Following their biggest win of the season, Juventus will look to extend their Serie A winning streak when they travel to Hellas Verona on Thursday.

Despite winning the Derby d’Italia for the fourth time in a row, Juventus are only fifth in the standings as the World Cup approaches; meanwhile, their hosts have only picked up five points so far and are in the relegation zone as a result.

With both clubs trailing in the early stages of the Scudetto race, old rivals Juventus and Inter were desperate for points when they met in Turin at the weekend, just days after the hosts had exited the Champions League.

Juve shrugged off their European woes and jumped above their Milanese rivals in the table with a deserved 2-0 win, thanks to second-half goals from Adrien Rabiot and primavera graduate Nicolo Fagioli.

While Verona has won three of their last five home matches against Juventus – as many as they had in the previous twelve – recent form suggests they will struggle this week.

They welcome the Old Lady to Stadio Bentegodi after losing eight consecutive Serie A games for the first time in club history, and they sit atop the table with more than a third of the season remaining.

Prior to last Sunday’s defeat to promoted Monza – who also stunned Juve earlier this season – two of their previous three defeats had come at the hands of Milan and Roma, but Salvatore Bocchetti’s side are struggling to score no matter who they face.
