Juventus Eyes Fourth Straight Win Against Struggling Hellas Verona

VERONA, Italy — Juventus looks to continue its perfect start to the Serie A season as they face Hellas Verona on Saturday, September 20, 2025, at Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi. After a week filled with dramatic matchups, Juventus aims to stay focused and avoid dropping points against a team yet to secure a win this season.

Juventus manager Igor Tudor emphasized mental clarity is vital for his squad during a pre-match press conference. “Tomorrow’s match will be won with our heads. We can win if we play at our best,” Tudor stated. The team will also need to rebound from an exhausting 4-4 draw with Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League midweek.

For Tudor, this match is particularly special as he managed Hellas Verona for a season in 2021-22. He recalled his time at the club fondly, noting, “It’s a special experience to return to Bentegodi.”

Hellas Verona, on the other hand, is struggling to find its form, currently sitting at 17th place with only two points from three matches. They recently played to a scoreless draw against newly promoted Cremonese, having also lost 4-0 to Lazio earlier in the season.

Despite these challenges, Verona’s manager Paolo Zanetti has expressed faith in his squad’s ability to turn things around. He noted the importance of scoring, as they have only netted once so far this season.

Prior encounters indicate that Juventus has the upper hand, maintaining an unbeaten streak against Verona in recent seasons, winning the last six meetings. Tudor’s side is looking to capitalize, especially after securing three wins in Serie A already this season.

Juventus is banking on key players like Dusan Vlahovic, who has shown impressive performance lately. The striker’s ability to impact matches is crucial as he is expected to start against Verona. Tudor praised Vlahovic’s efforts, stating, “He’s hungry to show he wants to be on this team.”

Kickoff is set for 6 p.m. local time, with fans encouraged to support their teams in what is expected to be an exciting match.
