Verona will invite Juventus to the Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi in the Serie A on Saturday.

With 19 points from 24 games, they are in 18th place in the league table and need a win to move out of the relegation zone.
The visitors have seen a drop in form recently and are winless in their last three league outings. After suffering their first league defeat since September to Inter Milan earlier this month, they fell to a 1-0 home loss to Udinese on Monday.

Verona vs Juventus Prediction
I Gialloblu have just one win in the league this year, suffering four defeats in seven games. They have fared much better at home, suffering just one loss in six games in that period while scoring two goals apiece in three games in that period. They have a decent home record against the Turin-based visitors, suffering two defeats while recording three wins in eight games.
Marco Baroni does not have any fresh absentees for this match, and Karol Świderski, who picked up a knock against Monza last week, should be fit enough to retain his place in the starting XI.
I Bianconeri have struggled a bit in the league recently, scoring just once in their last three games. After recording three wins on the spin and keeping three clean sheets, they have gone winless in their last three outings, conceding one goal apiece.
They have just one win in their last four away meetings against their eastern rivals, suffering two defeats.
Dušan Vlahović should return to the starting XI after Massimiliano Allegri rested him due to a muscle injury against Udinese. He will have to make do without Bremer, who is suspended due to yellow card accumulation.
Considering the current form of the two teams and their recent goalscoring record, we are going for a narrow Juventus win
