Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Serie A match.
Over the past ten days, Juventus have been eliminated from both the Champions League and Coppa Italia, significantly easing their fixture congestion for the remainder of the season. Against Hellas Verona, who have slightly pulled away from the relegation zone, they should put on a dominant attacking display—especially with fans eagerly awaiting goals from Randal Kolo Muani.
Juventus
Despite their Coppa Italia quarter-final elimination to Empoli (1:2 after penalties), Juventus were the far more dangerous side (1.90–0.87 in xG), but nerves let them down in the shootout. However, their narrow 1:0 league win over Cagliari has put them back in the Serie A top four, with a six-point gap to the leaders on points dropped. Defensively, Juventus have been rock solid in 2025—conceding just six goals, tied with AS Roma and Atalanta for the league’s best defensive record. Injuries have had little effect on their backline's consistency.
Hellas Verona
Since the start of January, Hellas Verona have improved defensively, but vulnerabilities remain. Heavy defeats to Atalanta (0:5) and AC Milan (0:1) highlighted their issues, as they conceded a combined 4.70 xGA in those matches. The squad lacks the depth and quality to compete against Serie A’s top teams. Unsurprisingly, they were the first side to surpass 50 goals conceded this season (54).
Juventus vs Hellas Verona Prediction
Juventus have won five of their last six meetings against Hellas Verona, including a 3:0 victory earlier this season, where they dominated possession. Given Hellas Verona’s struggles against the league’s elite, a comfortable home win is expected.
