Serie A Preview: Juventus vs Hellas Verona – Team News, Lineups & Prediction

Juventus are riding a wave of momentum as they prepare to host already-relegated Hellas Verona this Sunday, with a top-four finish firmly in their sights. Unbeaten for over two months, the Bianconeri know that three points could be crucial in the race for Champions League football.

After Como’s goalless draw with Napoli on Saturday, Juventus have a golden chance to stretch their slender two-point lead over fifth-placed Como. Following a frustrating 0-0 stalemate at AC Milan last weekend, Luciano Spalletti’s men will be eager to bounce back at the Allianz Stadium. They enter as heavy favorites, and for good reason—their last league defeat came way back in mid-February, with five wins and three draws since then.

Verona, meanwhile, are already packing their bags for Serie B. Lecce's 2-1 victory over Pisa on Friday confirmed the Rossoblu’s relegation for the first time since 2019. With only pride left to play for in their final four matches, Paolo Sammarco’s side may still want to restore some dignity after a disappointing campaign. But facing a Juventus team that has rediscovered its defensive steel won't make that task any easier.

Juventus have kept six clean sheets in their last seven league games—a stark contrast to the nine shutouts they managed in the first 27 rounds. That defensive solidity, combined with an eight-game unbeaten run, makes them a daunting opponent for any side, let alone one already doomed to the drop.

History is also on Juventus’ side. They have never lost a Serie A home match against a team starting the matchday in the bottom two. With the top-four race heating up and Napoli handing them a lifeline, this is the perfect moment for the Bianconeri to re-establish a five-point cushion over Como and take a giant step toward Champions League qualification.
