Match Overview: Verona kicked off their
Serie A season in stunning fashion with a 3-0 victory over defending champions
Napoli, a result that sent shockwaves across the league. Daniel Mosquera was
the star of the show, netting a brace on his Serie A debut and making an
immediate impact. Verona will be full of confidence as they welcome Juventus to
the Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi for what promises to be a thrilling encounter.
Juventus also started their campaign with a
3-0 win, comfortably dispatching Como. Thiago Motta’s side displayed both
physical and technical dominance after a slow start, with standout performances
from Kenan Yildiz, Andrea Cambiaso, and Manuel Locatelli. However, the
Bianconeri will be looking for more from Dusan Vlahovic, who endured a
frustrating pre-season and was unlucky not to score against Como, hitting the
post twice and having a goal ruled out for a marginal offside.
Despite Juve’s quality, Verona’s home ground has historically been a tough venue for the Bianconeri, with Juventus winning only twice in Serie A at Bentegodi since 2001. This makes the upcoming clash even more intriguing.
