On Monday, Juventus showcased their revamped squad under Thiago Motta, securing a convincing victory in their debut match. Against Verona, who managed to win over Napoli (3-0), the Turin club will likely adopt a less aggressive approach up front, although they will still create enough chances to secure a win.
After being eliminated from the Coppa Italia by Cesena (1:2), few expected Verona to pose a challenge against Napoli. Essentially, the team capitalised on their goal-scoring opportunities to the fullest. Despite Napoli creating a respectable 1.25 xG from 15 shots and 68% possession, Verona scored thrice without their injured top scorer Suat Serdar—a significant loss for the squad.
Juventus handled Como with ease (3:0), knocking out the Serie A newcomers thanks to Samuel Mbengula's brilliant debut in senior football (1+1). Kenan Yıldız also made noticeable progress (1 assist), Kenan Yıldız also made noticeable progress (1 assist), getting the No.10 jersey entrusted to him by Juventus. Thiago Motta may choose a more straightforward approach up front without the injured Khéphren Thuram and Timothy Weah. However, he still has excellent options as Douglas Luiz and Nicolò Fagioli, both eager to secure starting roles.
The strong pressure Juventus applied in their previous match (1.42 xG vs 0.18) is unlikely to be repeated against vibrant Verona, though the favourites will still win. The level of the Turin players is significantly superior, and they are able to get all three points.
