Meanwhile, Juventus also won 3-0 win in their first game of the season, beating newcomers Como, coached by Cesc Fabregas, at home. Samuel Mbangula had a dream debut for the Old Lady, with an assist and a goal, while Timothy Weah and Andrea Cambiaso respectively scored in stoppage time of either half.

Verona vs Juventus Prediction
Verona kicked off their campaign with an impressive win over Napoli, keeping a clean sheet. They held Juve to a 2-2 draw at home last season, scoring two goals for the third time in five home meetings.
Juan Manuel Cruz and Suat Serdar are the two absentees for Verona. Reda Belahyane replaced Serdar in the campaign opener after the German midfielder picked up a muscle injury but is expected to start.
Juve, meanwhile, extended their unbeaten streak in Serie A to nine games with a comfortable win in their campaign opener. Interestingly, they have three wins in 12 away games in 2024.
Thiago Motta got his reign as the club manager with a win. He will be without the services of Khéphren Thuram and Timothy Weah due to injuries while Danilo is a doubt.
Considering the current form of the two teams and Verona's recent home record in the fixture, expect a draw to ensue.
