Verona vs Juventus | Preview – Expected Lineup

After their recent Champions League encounters, Juventus’ men’s first team is back on the Serie A pitch. They will visit Hellas Verona at the Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi on Saturday, 20 September, with kickoff set for 18:00 CEST. This fixture promises to be an exciting clash as both teams aim to assert their dominance early in the season.

Juventus has made an impressive start, winning all three of their opening Serie A matches. This marks the first time since the 2018/19 season—when Massimiliano Allegri was in charge—that they have achieved such a feat.

Back then, Juventus managed to win their first eight games, setting a high benchmark. Currently, the team is riding a wave of confidence, having secured victories in their last five league matches. Their last six-game winning streak was recorded between October 2022 and January 2023.

Interestingly, none of the current Hellas Verona squad has scored against Juventus in Serie A. The last player to find the net against them at Bentegodi was Tijjani Noslin on 17 February 2024, thanks to an assist from Michael Folorunsho.

On the attacking front, Juventus players coming off the bench have been particularly effective this season. They have scored three goals from substitutes, with Dusan Vlahovic netting twice and Vasilije Adzic once. Only Barcelona and Lille have outperformed this in Europe’s top five leagues.

Kenan Yildiz has been a standout player in Serie A since March 2025, being involved in 15 goals across all competitions. This impressive tally includes eight goals and seven assists in just 17 matches.

Meanwhile, Dusan Vlahovic continues to impress by contributing a goal every 28 minutes on average since August, boasting four goals and one assist in 141 minutes of play.

A closer look at the Verona vs Juventus rivalry

Hellas Verona and Juventus will meet for their 69th Serie A encounter. Juventus leads the historical head-to-head with 39 wins, while Verona has triumphed 12 times, and 17 matches ended in draws.

In recent years, Juventus has dominated the fixture, winning six of the last seven meetings and maintaining six clean sheets. During this period, Juventus has scored 12 goals while conceding only two.

Verona’s defense has struggled against Juventus, having conceded goals in 24 consecutive Serie A matches to the Bianconeri. Over these games, they let in 43 goals, averaging nearly two goals per match. Verona’s home form is also a concern; they have won only once in their last 14 league games at Bentegodi.
