Juventus take on the visitors Verona in the round 10 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Saturday, October 28th at Allianz Stadium (Turin).
In the current season, Juventus are arguably a legitimate contender for the Scudetto, which is a rare occurrence in recent years. While most of their competitors will be playing on multiple fronts, at least in the group stages of European competitions, the players of the "Old Lady" are comfortably collecting points in their regular "one match per week" schedule. The home match against Verona are precisely the kind of game where a championship contender cannot afford to drop points. Personally, I have no doubts about Juventus winning. Juventus enters this match in excellent form. They haven't conceded a single goal in their last four matches and have secured three victories, including an away win against Milan (1-0). In their last two Serie A home matches, they defeated Lecce (1-0) and Torino (2-0).

Verona started the country's championship with two wins, and many quickly labeled them as potential mid-table contenders for the current season. However, they followed this with a predictable decline, as they haven't won in seven consecutive rounds. During this period, the "yellow-blues" have only managed to secure two draws. In the remaining five matches, they suffered five losses, including defeats to Milan (0-1), Atalanta (0-1), Frosinone (1-2), Sassuolo (1-3), and Napoli (1-3). As you can see, on two occasions in this season's Serie A, Verona have lost by more than one goal. What about Juventus winning with a handicap?
Everything seems fine in that regard. Besides the previously mentioned victory against Torino (2-0), the "Old Lady" have managed to beat Lazio at home this season with a two-goal margin (3-1). They also handled Udinese (3-0) and Empoli (2-0) away with the necessary handicap. In the previous season, Verona suffered two narrow defeats to Juventus in the championship. But this time, they are more likely to lose by a bigger margin. The "Mastiffs" don't seem to be in the best form at the start of Serie A. In contrast, Juventus are currently performing well and looks much better than last season. My prediction is a handicap (-1) on the favorite. I expect the hosts to win by a margin of at least 2-3 goals, but a small insurance wouldn't hurt.
Prediction for the match: Juventus to win with -1.0 handicap.
