Verona go head-to-head against Juventus on Monday. Read our Predictions and Betting Tips with Match Preview, Head-to-head stats (h2h) and Team Form Analysis.
Serie A, KO: 19:45 Aug 26, 2024, Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi
Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Verona and Juventus take on each other at Stadio Marc’Antonio Bentegodi in the closing match of the Serie A round 2. Verona rolled over Napoli 3-0 in their opener, which is surely fuelling fans with optimism ahead of the visit of Juve. German midfielder Suat Serdar has joined Juan Manuel Cruz in the recovery room, but there are no suspended players in the home team. The Old Lady, on the other hand, faced no difficulties in a 3-0 win over Como.
New boss Thiago Motta marked his debut with a routine triumph, but beating Verona in “the City of Love” is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw. In their last meeting in Verona the two sides played out a 2-2 draw. The likes of Weah, Thuram, Milik, and Miretti are out of contention with injuries for the visiting side.
How the bookies view it: Turin club to triumph
Juventus have been installed as overwhelming favourites and are priced at 7/10 by PHMACAO to claim the win. A victory for Verona is valued at 9/2 with PHMACAO, who is also offering odds of 13/5 for a draw.
Recent head to head: Juventus always prevail
Juventus have a fine record in this fixture and are unbeaten in the last five matches against Verona. The Turin club claimed four wins in that run but played out a 2-2 draw in the most recent fixture at the Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi back in February.
Players to watch: Vlahovic to regain scoring touch
Dusan Vlahovic had a goal chalked off in Juventus’ opening fixture and will be keen to get off the mark for the season. The Serbian striker was on target against Verona last season. And is priced at 5/4 with PHMACAO to score anytime.
Juventus have a solid defensive record against Verona, keeping clean sheets in four of the last five meetings. The Turin club will also be keen to build on their performance in the opening weekend. And could be set for another clean sheet at 11/19 with 188JILI.
Probable line-ups
Mosquera’s brace off the bench in Verona’s opening fixture could earn him a start on Monday. Livramento is also expected to continue in attack while Ondrej Duda should retain his place in midfield.
Weah and Kephren Thuram are rated doubtful for Juventus having picked up knocks in the opening fixture. Douglas Luiz could be set for his full debut after coming off the bench last time out while Vlahovic is expected to continue in attack.
Verona: Montipo, Frese, Coppola, Dawidowicz, Lazovic, Belahyane, Duda, Tchatchoua, Kastanos, Livramento, Mosquera
Juventus: Di Gregorio, Cabal, Bremer, Gatti, Cambiasso, Fagioli, Locatelli, Mbangula, Luiz, Yildiz, Vlahovic
Verona vs Juventus Prediction
Both Verona and Juventus looked fabulous on the opening day. However, we must rate Juventus’ chances of producing once again higher.
Verona did not impress two weeks ago in Coppa Italia, falling 1-2 at home to lower-division Cesena.
They have also conceded loads of shots in the 3-0 win over Napoli. Juventus’ in-form attackers will surely get plenty of room to deliver once again after putting three goals past Como last weekend.
Juventus also have tradition to back them up. They won four and drew one of the previous five encounters with Verona.
The away win is the main betting option at the 1.66 odds while we also like the sky-high 6.00 odds offered for Samuel Mbangula to score anytime after his fascinating showing against Como.
