Juventus' Challenge Continues as They Face Hellas Verona: Serie A Round 2 Preview
Tonight's Serie A clash between Hellas Verona and Juventus at the Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi promises to be a thrilling encounter. Both teams head into this match with a perfect start to their 2024-25 campaign, each securing impressive 3-0 victories in their season openers. Verona stunned Napoli with a commanding second-half performance, while Juventus delivered a strong display against Como under the guidance of new coach Thiago Motta.
For Juventus, this game represents their first away fixture of the season. They are keen to build on their solid performance from last week. With a convincing win against Como, Juventus showed a glimpse of their potential, highlighted by Samuel Mbangula's debut goal and Andrea Cambiaso's late strike. However, despite this strong start, Juve faces a significant challenge tonight. They must overcome a poor recent away record, having failed to win any of their last eight Serie A matches on the road—a streak dating back to 1999. Yet, their recent form against Verona has been promising, with Juventus winning four of their last five encounters with the Gialloblu and keeping a clean sheet in each of those victories.
