Juventus will look to tighten their grip on a top-four place when they host Hellas Verona, whose relegation fears could become a reality this weekend in Serie A.
The Old Lady extended their unbeaten league run to eight matches, with a 0-0 draw against AC Milan last weekend.
Though dropping points allowed their closest challengers to narrow the gap to just three points on the league table.
Their recent form has been built on a rock-solid defence, with six clean sheets in their last seven outings.
Back at the Allianz Stadium, confidence will be high, especially given their strong record against struggling sides.
For Verona, the outlook is bleak due to their situation on the league table as they edge closer to being relegated from the Serie A.
A goalless draw with Lecce ended a five-game losing streak, but they remain ten points from safety and could have their relegation confirmed depending on results elsewhere.
Even if they avoid that before kick-off, defeat here would seal their fate. Their overall form offers little hope, with just one point in their last six matches.
Their away struggles are also worrisome, with five losses in their last six trips, suggesting this could be another difficult outing.

Whispers predicts: Juventus 2-0 Hellas Verona
Juventus are exceptionally strong at home and have a penchant for keeping clean sheets against teams in the bottom half of the table.
Conversely, Verona's inability to score suggests they will find it nearly impossible to breach the Bianconeri defence.
Bookmakers have positioned the home side as heavy favourites at 1.22. A draw is currently valued at 6.50, while a monumental upset for the visitors is priced at 12.00.
For those looking for better value, the under 2.5 goals market is at 2.20, a logical choice given both teams' recent scoring records.
Both teams to score (No) is priced at a high 1.53, as the markets do not expect the visitors to find the back of the net, while first-half draw is at 2.75 odds
> Home to win at 1.22 | Likelihood: Probable
> Under 2.5 goals at 2.20 | Likelihood: Probable
> Both teams to score - No at 1.53 | Likelihood: Possible
