Monday marks the start of another action packed football week across Europe, and we have prepared the very best Verona v Juventus prediction to give you yet another free Seria A betting pick. Both clubs kicked off their campaigns with impressive 3:0 wins at home. While that result was somewhat expected from Juventus, who opened up against newcomers Como, Verona’s classic 3:0 win came as a surprise as they were up against Napoli. In light of these big results, we can see that two teams in good form will go head-to-head, and that should make up for an entertaining game.
Verona Impressive In Their Home Opener
Verona stunned Napoli in the opening round of the new Seria A season with the two new signings Mosquera and Livramento both scoring. They completely wrecked the Partenopei’s defense and Verona bagged all three points. I doubt that anyone had predicted such an outcome, especially with that particular scoreline. What’s also interesting is that all three goals came in the second half. Lazovic, who has been my favorite Verona player for some time, was instrumental once again, and provided a fine assist for the first goal (from Livramento).
Lazovic is a highly skilled and creative midfield, who is capable of providing the spark in offense at any moment during a game. Mosquera came on as a substitue and scored after just a couple of minutes after entering the pitc. Then he nearly had another goal in the 82nd minute. The third goal came in the added time as Lazovic assisted Mosquera to complete the perfect home opener for Verona.
All in all, Verona, who barely avoided relegation last season, look very promising right now. One of our free Seria A betting picks for today is that they will cause Juve plenty of problems.
New Look Juve With a Bright Start
Juventus looked lively in the first official match of new head coach and former Inter player Thiago Motta. Motta made waves last year leading Bologna to their first ever Champions League qualification. His impressive and innovative style of player got the attention of football directors across the continent, but it was Juve that snatched him. What looks certain is that his brand of football would be much more enjoyable to watch compared to Allegri.
In the game against Como, Motta deployed a 4-2-3-1 formation. The new addition from Aston Villa, Brazilian holding midfielder Douglas Luiz was partnered by Manuel Locatelly. Front of them was the trident of attacking midfielders Mbangula, Yidilz (who has now been given the number 10), and Cambiasso. The attack was spearheaded by Dusan Vlahovic, who failed to score. With that being said, one of our free Seria A betting picks and Verona v Juventus prediction is that Vlahovic will score. He struck the crossbar twice against Como, and had a goal disallowed by VAR, so he should have better luck this time.
In the game against Como, Mbangula scored a fine goal to break the deadlock, going inside from the left wing and curling it with this right foot.
Turkish talent Yildiz assisted for Timothy Weah’s second goal, which was an absolute cracker against the crossbar that went in-and-out, and it might not have counted if it was for the goal line technology signaling to the ref that the ball actually went over the line. Weah is another young talented player in this Juventus lineup, and it looks like Motta will give him plenty of trust and minutes this season.
Cambiasso’s goal was yet another beautiful long range shot that capped off the perfect start to Thiago Motta’s reign. All the positive signs were there, and it does look like Juve are capable of challenging Inter for the title this year, which is yet another one of our free Seria A betting picks. At the moment, the outright odds for Juve winning the league are quite good at 4.00.
Verona v Juventus Prediction
Both sides impressed in the opening round. Verona stunned Napoli in a result that few could have expected. The Bianconeri were dominant against newly promoted Como, but the visit to Verona will provide a stern test for their title ambitions. I expect Juve to bag all three points in a tense encounter.
