Juventus are enjoying one of their most consistent spells of the season, going more than two months without defeat as they prepare to host Hellas Verona.
With a top-four finish still within reach, every point matters, especially against a struggling opponent who could see their relegation confirmed this weekend.

Juventus building momentum at the right time
A goalless draw against AC Milan last time out slightly dented Juventus’ advantage in the standings, trimming their cushion over rivals to just three points.
Still, the result extended their unbeaten run in Serie A to eight matches, underlining their resilience during a crucial phase of the campaign.
Much of Juventus’ recent success has been anchored in defensive discipline. They have recorded six clean sheets in their last seven league games, showcasing a well-organized backline that has proven difficult to break down.
Returning to the Allianz Stadium further boosts confidence, as Juventus have historically dominated teams near the bottom of the table on home soil. Facing a side in deep trouble could provide the perfect opportunity to reinforce their position in the top four.
Verona on the brink of relegation For Verona, the outlook is far more bleak. A recent 0-0 draw with Lecce ended a five-match losing streak, but did little to improve their dire situation.

Sitting ten points from safety, they are on the verge of relegation, which could be mathematically confirmed even before kickoff depending on other results.
Their form offers little hope of a turnaround. Verona have managed just one win in their last 36 league matches, a run that highlights their ongoing struggles. Away from home, the situation is even worse, with five defeats in their last six outings.
Given Juventus’ dominance in this fixture—unbeaten in 34 home meetings—it seems increasingly likely that Verona’s fight for survival will come to an end here.
All signs point toward a controlled and confident Juventus performance, as they aim to maintain momentum and edge closer to securing Champions League football for next season.
