Serie A 2025-2026, the probable lineups of Hellas Verona-Juventus
After two “crazy” consecutive home matches, in the league against Inter (4-3) and in the Champions League against Borussia Dortmund (from 2-4 to 4-4 in full recovery), Juventus is preparing to face Hellas Verona at the Bentegodi: a sort of head-to-tail, given that Tudor’s team is in the lead together with Napoli while Paolo Zanetti’s team is in the lower part of the standings with 2 points.
The Jalloblù coach will have to do without Roberto Gagliardini, who was injured in his debut against Cremonese. In his place, a ballot between Akpa Akpro and Al Musrati, with the former favored. The keys to the attack will be handed to Orban and Giovane, with the aim of unlocking an offensive phase that in three games has produced only one goal, Serdar’s in the 1-1 draw against Udinese on the first day.
On the other side Igor Tudor (in Verona as coach in the 2021-2022 season) will bet on the newfound verve of Dusan Vlahovic and the talents of Francisco Conceiçao and Kenan Yildiz. A few more doubts in defense, partly because seven goals in the last two games weighs: the Croatian coach’s idea is a three-man department with Kalulu, Gatti and Kelly. Locatelli and Khephren Thuram confirmed in midfield.
Probable lineups
HELLAS VERONA (3-4-1-2): Montipò; Nuñez, Nelsson, Frese; Belghali, Serdar, Akpa Akpro, Bradaric; Bernede; Orban, Giovane. All. Zanetti.
