Juventus will be hoping to break into the top-four when they welcome Verona to Allianz Stadium for a crucial Serie A fixture on Sunday night with kickoff at 22:45.
Juventus had a difficult start to the campaign with club spending sometime in the middle of the table. However, the Old Lady have been on an upward trajectory in Serie A with the side going unbeaten in their last nine league matches, claiming six wins and three draws on the run.
The run has seen them rise steadily in the league rankings and now they sit in fifth with just one point outside the Champions League places. They still though remain 11 points off the summit but the acquisition of the goal-scoring machine in Dusan Vlahovic might give them a chance of pressuring the top three.
They are coming off a 0-0 draw against Milan at away and they will be keen to bounce back to winning ways here and they will fancy their chances as they are in good home form having lost none of their last six matches at Allianz. Also, they have a good record against Verona at home as they have not lost to their visitors in their last 12 encounters at Allianz Stadium.
Verona have been on and off throughout the campaign with the club recording nine wins, six draws and eight defeats from their 23 matches to collect 33 points which have them sitting in the ninth spot.
They head into the match in high spirits as the side has only lost one of their last five Serie A matches, claiming three victories in the process and are coming off back-to-back victories against Sassuolo and Bologna.
The resurgent form has seen them climb into the top-half and are now just five points outside the European places. Therefore, the Scaligeri will be looking to extend their current form as they aim at climbing closer to the top six.
