Juventus vs Hellas Verona Prediction
Earlier this month, Juventus, despite winning the first-leg, were knocked out of the UEFA Champions League at the knockout playoff round against PSV Eindhoven after extra-time in the second-leg. They now come into this one, too, on the back of being knocked out of the Coppa Italia at the quarter-final stage on penalties, losing at home to struggling Empoli. The pressure is growing on Motta with questions over his style throughout the campaign and their general lack of goals, scoring one or zero in 20 of their 39 matches across all competitions so far this season. Hellas Verona most recently pulled off a surprising 1-0 defeat of Fiorentina at the Marcantonio Bentegodi last weekend. That has allowed them to open up some breathing space between themselves and the danger zone. Juve would still likely be slight favourites with a low-scoring encounter to be expected.
