Hellas Verona vs Juventus Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast | Serie A 2024-25

The Old Lady aim to cement their position at the top with a win over Gialloblu.

Hellas Verona FC, who narrowly escaped relegation last season by finishing near the bottom of the Serie A table, are determined to script a different narrative this season. Rather than merely fighting to avoid relegation, they are setting their sights on becoming strong contenders for a top-five finish in the Serie A standings. This renewed ambition was evident from their very first match of the season, where they delivered a stunning 3-0 victory over the 2022-23 champions, Napoli. Goals from Livramento and a brace from Mosquera propelled Verona to a commanding win, much to the delight of their supporters.

Looking ahead, Hellas Verona are set to face a formidable challenge against Juventus in their upcoming fixture. Despite the daunting task, their upgraded squad, combined with a fearless approach and a positive attitude, suggests that they are ready to take on the giants of Italian football. Verona will be eager to maintain their winning momentum and capitalize on the home advantage at the Marcantonio Bentegodi Stadium. They have already shown that they are not intimidated by any opponent, not even the former champions Napoli, and will aim to extend their winning streak to two matches when they confront the Old Lady.

Juventus endured a dismal pre-season campaign, starting with a heavy 3-0 defeat to Nurnberg in their opening pre-season friendly, followed by a lacklustre draw against Brest, and ending with a loss to Atletico Madrid in their final pre-season fixture. Despite the setbacks, Juventus did not let the disappointment linger and resolved to begin their Serie A campaign on a positive note. They achieved this with a commanding 3-0 victory over Como in their opening league match, thanks to goals from Mbangula, Timothy Weah, and Cambiasso, securing all three points with a strong performance.

As they prepare for their first away match of the season against Hellas Verona, Juventus will be looking to build on their promising start. The club is known for its resilience and ability to bounce back from adversity—whether dealing with points deductions due to financial breaches or losing key players to transfers, Juventus have consistently shown the ability to overcome challenges and emerge stronger. With this indomitable spirit, the current Juventus squad has the potential not only to play high-quality football but also to be strong contenders for titles both in Italy and across Europe.

This match promises to be an intriguing contest, with both sides equally capable of besting the other. Juventus’ depth and talent offer numerous opportunities, while Hellas Verona’s current form signals a resurgence and a determination to challenge even the strongest teams. Fans can expect a blockbuster spectacle, filled with action and excitement, as both Juventus and Hellas Verona aim to extend their winning streaks to two. Both teams will be eager to solidify their positions in the top half of the Serie A table, setting the stage for a thrilling and competitive encounter.
