Juventus vs Hellas Verona: Match preview and probable lineups

Juventus will face Hellas Verona on Sunday evening 20:45 (local time) at the Allianz Stadium. Juve's newest signing Dusan Vlahovic could start, as well as the other reinforcement, Denis Zakaria.

Juventus drew their last game before the winter break 0-0 against AC Milan, without even getting a shot on target. That will most likely not be the case on Sunday, with Dusan Vlahovic joining the squad. Juventus's other signing, Denis Zakaria, is also in contention for a starting spot. Weston McKennie is a doubt for the game, as his flight to Italy has been cancelled. The American was on international duty and expected to return to Turin on Friday. Manuel Locatelli i...

‘Joyless January’ ahead for Juventus?

Despite the fact that Bianconeri fans are heavily dependant on Juve making moves in the upcoming midseason Mercato to avoid an unpleasant ending of the whole season, they might just as well end up disappointed and unsatisfied. Why shouldn't we look forward to the opening month of next year optimistically, but rather realistically? Well, having to deal with likely jeopardized deals and incapability to offload is an indicator that we are about to witness yet another rollercoaster ride. Plus, situations around Dušan Vlahović and Dejan Kulusevski seem to be more intense than ever: Dušan Vlahović to Juventus. A dream deal that's tough to land. No one can be entirely sure whether the player would like an experience abroad, a career at much stable side than what Juve currently is or las...
