Hellas Verona vs Juventus Prediction & Picks - Serie A

Prediction published on 8/24/24, 2:45 PM  by Will Chace in Soccer Picks

Serie A fans around the world are privy to a Monday night clash between Hellas Verona and Juventus, the defending champions of Coppa Italia. Juve are under new management in 2024-25, now spearheaded by former treble winner Thiago Motta. Motta joins Juventus following the removal of Maximilliano Allegri, a manager who coached multiple stints in Turin. Allegri’s dismissal was compounded by multiple factors, including a 3rd-place finish in Serie A and an emotional implosion on the pitch, where he acted disrespectfully towards referees and journalists after the matter. Motta will likely implement a more aggressive approach with Juventus, after Allegri’s style was consistently criticized for being too conservative and old-fashioned. Last Monday, Juve took down Como 3-0. Their opponents this week are coming off a win of that exact same scoreline. Verona outclassed Napoli thanks to a brace from Daniel Mosquera, and now enter this week looking to defend their home turf yet again.
