Juventus vs Verona Match Preview

Juventus is ranked at 7th place with eight points and they haven't made the start they expected of the new season, as they got two wins and two draws out of four games. While the draw against Roma could be understood the one against Crotone was quite a surprise despite the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo. For this duel they will have back McKennie who recovered and also Bernardeschi is expected to start, as he has fully trained with the squad.

Still the best news here is that Dybala is going to play as we saw in the UCL game he is fully fit now. With the duo Dybala - Morata in attack we have seen Juventus showing big things in the past and now with the addition of Kulusevski to back them up I expect big problems for Verona. Juventus scored six goals in three games, not counting the awarded game against Napoli.

Verona is ranked at 8th place with seven points and comes after two wins, a draw, and a loss over the first four games so far. They have an awarded game too against Roma which was the toughest so far that had ended in a draw firstly. Their only win came against a poor Udinese team that even dominated them.

I think the biggest problem for Verona is that they sold two of their key defenders from the past season, Kumbulla and Rrahmani, and I struggle to see their replacements to be at the same level. I doubt they will be able to hold off a motivated Juventus team here which from what we saw in the game against Dyn. Kiev is back to their best levels.

In conclusion, I think Juventus can win this match. They are the big favorites, and despite the absence of Cristian Ronaldo once again, I think they have found some solidity which should be enough to prevail. Verona just lacks quality and is not the team they used to be in the last season. Juventus won all the last five home games against them.
