Last weekend, Juventus finally did what they had been seeking to do for nearly 15 years--to defeat Napoli at the Stadio San Paolo. Now that they have finally earned their first win of 2015, the Bianconeri will turn their attentions to the Coppa Italia as they seek their 10th trophy. However, although they are still enjoying a great run of form at home--with their last loss still dating back to April 2013 against Bayern Munich--Juventus have not won this competition since the 1990's.
Three defeats in recent times, with the most recent coming in 2012 during the final means that many Bianconeri fans have yet to see the Turin giants lift the trophy, but they will be encouraged by the fact that the hosts have not lost to Hellas Verona any of their last five meetings. Meanwhile, the visitors have not seen their good form from the first half of the season transfer into the second half and have tumbled down the table into 13th place.
Andrea Mandorlini's men will still fancy their chances and will hope that Juventus may opt to rotate their squad as Massimiliano Allegri hopes to keep his side as injury-free as possible. Both Andrea Pirlo and leading goal-scorer Carlos Tevez are expected to sit this one out, as well as Martin Caceres.
They will be seeking their first back-to-back wins since the beginning of the season, something that will certainly be easier said than done given how strong Juventus have been so far in domestic play this season. And of concern will be the absence of talismanic attacker Luca Toni, with the veteran striker having to miss out due to suffering from the flu.
Interestingly, this will represent the first time in three days that these two sides will meet, with the corresponding Serie A clash set to take place on January 18th. Still, the Coppa Italia has proven at times to be a tricky fixture for Italy's bigger sides and that is something that the visitors will have in mind. However, as calcio fans are well aware, Juventus have been simply unbeatable at home. Will Hellas Verona become the first side since Bayern Munich in 2013 to hand la Vecchia Signora defeat at home?
You will have to tune in to find out.
