Verona vs Juventus prediction: Old Lady to coast to maximum points
Key stats
- Juventus' late show to force a share of the spoils in their Champions League opener last time out means they are now unbeaten in seven straight games.
- I Bianconeri have managed just two clean sheets during that time and have conceded 11 goals, which should offer Verona some sort of encouragement.
- However, Verona are without a victory in three matches since their Coppa Italia penalty-shootout triumph over Cerignola one month ago.
Correct score prediction: Verona 1-3 Juventus
Having scored 11 times in four matches across all competitions this term, Juventus have been imperious at the top end of the pitch and should have too much firepower for Verona.
A comfortable victory for the visitors is the most likely outcome, barring any unexpected twists.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Juventus tipped as overwhelming favourites
- HOME: 11/2 (6.50) – 15.4%
- DRAW: 14/5 (3.80) – 26.3%
- AWAY: 11/20 (1.55) – 64.5%
*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
One of only two Serie A teams with maximum points from their first three outings, Juventus have been given a 64.5% chance of seeing off Verona on Saturday.
Igor Tudor's side played out a thrilling 4-4 stalemate against Bundesliga outfit Dortmund to get their Champions League journey underway last time out.
Verona, meanwhile, could only manage a point from Monday's meeting with newly promoted Cremonese after a 4-0 thrashing at Lazio before the international break.

Verona preview: Gift Orban sidelined after impressive debut
Making his first appearance for Verona since joining on loan from Hoffenheim, Orban made a good impression and was unlucky not to have grabbed a goal.
However, the Nigerian was substituted off 10 minutes from time due to an injury, which is set to keep him out of this weekend's encounter.
Like Orban, Martin Frese and Roberto Gagliardini also picked up injuries last time out and are huge doubts for the hosts here.
Meanwhile, Fallou Cham, Abdou Harroui, Daniel Mosquera, Tomas Suslov and Nicolas Valentini are guaranteed absentees.
Predicted lineup: Montipo(GK), Nunez, Nelsson, Bella-Kotchap; Belghali, Akpa Akpro, Serdar, Bradaric, Bernede, Giovane & Sarr
Verona's last five matches:
- Verona 0-0 Cremonese (Serie A)
- Lazio 4-0 Verona (Serie A)
- Udinese 1-1 Verona (Serie A)
- Audace Cerignola 1-1 (2-4 pens) Verona (Coppa Italia)
- St. Pauli 1-0 Verona (Friendly)
Juventus preview: No new injury concerns
Juventus came away unscathed on the injury front from their midweek European commitment, meaning that Arkadiusz Milik and Fabio Miretti are the only unavailable players for Saturday's game.
Milik is out with a knee injury, while Miretti is nursing a thigh problem.
Predicted lineup: Di Gregorio(GK), Kelly, Bremer, Gatti, Cambiasso, Thuram, Koopmeiners, Locatelli, Kalulu, Yildiz & David
Juventus' last five matches:
- Juventus 4-4 Dortmund (Champions League)
- Juventus 4-3 Inter (Serie A)
- Genoa 0-1 Juventus (Serie A)
- Juventus 2-0 Parma (Serie A)
- Atalanta 1-2 Juventus (Friendly)
Player to watch – Kenan Yildiz
Yildiz racked up both a goal and an assist for the second game running to take his tally of direct goal contributions to 10 in his last eight competitive matches for Juventus.
Combining his electric pace with consistent end product, the Turkey international has been Juventus' standout performer of the season so far.
Yildiz assisted Dusan Vlahovic's opener on his side's most recent visit to Verona, and you would not bet against him coming up with the goods this weekend.
