Hellas Verona preview: Likely strugglers
Still under the management of former Empoli boss Paolo Zanetti, Hellas Verona are and have been expected to struggle this season after seemingly circling the drain for the last couple of years in Serie A.
The home team come into this one on the back of collecting two points from their opening three matches this season. They were the better side against newly-promoted Cremonese last weekend, but were held to a goalless draw at the Bentegodi.
Juventus preview: New era for the Old Lady
With Igor Tudor now at the helm at the Allianz Stadium in Turin, there were concerns that Juventus were too cautious and lacked goals, but the last week or so has certainly changed that perspective of the Bianconeri.
After a thrilling and dramatic 4-3 victory over Internazionale in the Derby d’Italia last weekend, the Old Lady then fought back from 4-2 down to share a 4-4 draw with Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Champions League in midweek.

Hellas Verona vs Juventus prediction
Hellas Verona did have a late splurge towards the end of the summer transfer window to bring in several players who do raise their level, at least on paper. They now face a Juventus side that, previously stuck for goals, now have an abundance of attackers that may make it difficult for them to fit everyone in. Despite an average performance in midweek, their brilliant end with two second-half stoppage-time goals to snatch a point will mean they remain buoyant and they are favourites for this one as a result.
