The Bianconeri will take on the Giallobù today, as they continue the quest for their 10th successive title. Who will come on top today? This is Hellas Verona Vs Juventus – The Battle Of Bentegodi.
Match Preview
Juventus sits 3rd in the table, as they look to add pressure on 2nd place Milan with a win today. On the other hand, Verona won each of their last 3 games at home, as they seek to lock their place inside the top half of the table. Let’s take a look at how both teams will approach the game today.
Hellas Verona
Verona enters this game with a good record against Juventus, as they have won four points from their last two matches against them. However, in Serie A, Verona have not gone at least three games in a row without a defeat against the Bianconeri since 1989. Can they do that today?
This matchup have always produced goals, as all of the last six matches in Verona have always seen at least 3 goals scored in the match. In addition, Verona have scored at least two goals in five of the last six Serie A matches against Juventus at the Bentegodi. Will they extend that record today as well? Despite their impressive goalscoring ability, they also have a solid defense to back it up. In fact, only league leaders Inter, Napoli and Juve have a better record than them. Can they keep record breaker Ronaldo from scoring though?
Juventus
The scudetto remains the main objective for Juve this season, as they seek their record 10th successive title. However, this season started a bit roughly on new coach Pirlo, but with a player of Ronaldo’s caliber, nothing is impossible. After his brace against Crotone, Cristiano Ronaldo rose to 70 goals in 83 matches in the Italian league, becoming the 1st player in Serie A, in the era of three points per victory, to score at least 70 goals in less than 100 appearances. The Portuguese is also the player who has scored the most braces in the top-5 European Leagues this season (7), as Crotone became the 78th different side Cristiano Ronaldo scored against in the top-5 Europeam Leagues – only Zlatan Ibrahimovic (79) has scored against more sides since 2000. G.O.A.T or not?
With an eye on the Champions League, the Bianconeri enters this game having won 4 of their last 5 league games. With a game still in hand, a win today will decrease the deficit to just 5 points to top place Inter. Can they make a late run to secure their record title? In addition to Juve’s scoring ability, they have now kept a clean sheet in four of their last five league games. Will it be another one today as well?
