Verona vs Juventus Team News

While Juventus are focused on maintaining their grip of top spot, Cristiano Ronaldo will inevitably take centre stage this weekend as he attempts to continue his remarkable goal-scoring run in Italy's top flight.

The 34-year-old is bidding to score for a 10th successive match in Serie A, which would break David Trezeguet 's club record and take him to within one of matching Gabriel Batistuta's streak for Fiorentina in the mid-nineties.

The Portugal international's latest strikes came from the penalty spot against Fiorentina, with the 3-0 victory in Turin ensuring that Juventus remain clear of Inter Milan.

The three-point margin has been created despite their setback at Napoli last month, as well as going through a period where they have only kept two clean sheets from their last 10 league outings.

With Inter due to visit their home ground at the start of March, the next target for Maurizio Sarri will be putting together three more wins in order to provide some margin for error heading into that contest.

However, Sarri and his players will certainly not take an 18th win for granted against opponents who have put together a season-defining run either side of the turn of the year.

Three wins and four draws have been recorded from their most recent seven fixtures, a streak which has included stalemates at each of AC Milan and Lazio.

Ivan Juric would have been particularly impressed with his Verona side keeping out Lazio at Stadio Olimpico earlier this week, ensuring that the club continue to possess the fourth-best defensive record in the division.

Eight months on from earning promotion from Serie B, Verona are now just one point away from catapulting themselves into sixth position, but Juric will be keen to focus on causing a surprise against the champions, something which will feel more realistic than it did two months ago.

Verona vs Juventus Predictions

This is expected to be a stroll in the park for the visiting contingent given their overall form this campaign. They have been on a roll in recent weeks and are currently on course to defending their Serie A title.

With a game against a rejuvenated Verona side on the cards, Juventus will have to put their best foot forward in a bid to clinch maximum points on this ground. The home side are known for their defensive resilience.

However, with the incredulous goal-scoring form Cristiano Ronaldo has been in recent weeks, expect the visitors to breach this opponent, albeit painstakingly, before the end of the ninety minutes.
