Hellas Verona vs Juventus Betting Tips: JUVENTUS TO WIN

Without a doubt, Verona shocked everyone on the opening day of the new Calcio top-tier campaign by sinking the 2023 Serie A champions Napoli with a stunning 3-0 victory, where super-sub Daniel Mosquera made a debut to remember by netting a brace.

Having been dumped out of the Coppa Italia by Cesena earlier this month, Paolo Zanetti's side will now be able to fully focus on their domestic tasks with the aim of ensuring a quieter survival than last term, when they ended just three points above the relegated sides.

On the brighter side, the Mastiffs have gone three straight Serie A matches with no loss, including a narrow 2-1 win over Salernitana and a 2-2 draw with the reigning champions Inter in the closing two rounds of last season, but they face a stern test on Monday against a rival who has often troubled them recently.

The next visitor to Marcantoni Bentegodi will be a Juventus side that enjoyed a stellar start to the top-flight campaign under Thiago Motta's debut at the helm, having blown away newcomers Como with three unanswered goals to delight the Turin faithful.

Despite being held to a 2-2 draw the last time they visited the "City of Love", the Old Lady otherwise boast a successful record against Verona of late, having defeated them in four of their last five meetings and keeping a clean sheet in each of those.

If Juventus intends to make a serious statement about winning the Scudetto this term, they must address their away form as soon as possible, having not tasted victory on foreign soil since January 21, which is a painful run of eight games in Italy's top flight (D5 L3).

Currently, the gap between Napoli and Juventus is vast, making it hard to envision the Mastiffs easily securing points like they did at the curtain-raiser, as Thiago Motta is determined to mold his team into a genuine Serie A contender, and we hope that the White-Black clad squad will resolve this contest with a solitary strike, just as they did in three of their last four meetings with Verona.
