Juventus head to Hellas Verona on Monday, August 26 for their second Serie A match of 2024/25.

The Bianconeri made a positive start to life under new head coach Thiago Motta, defeating the division's new boys Como 3-0 in their opening game of the league season.

There were some injury concerns in that victory, though, meaning Motta will need to change his lineup for the journey east to the Marcantonio Bentegodi Stadium.

Verona also enjoyed a hugely impressive opening day, defeating Antonio Conte's Napoli 3-0. That result was even more remarkable given they suffered a 2-1 loss to Serie B side Cesena in the Coppa Italia first round just eight days earlier.

Here is the latest team news and predicted lineups for this fixture.

The home side are not likely to change much from the setup that saw them record that thoroughly impressive win over Napoli on matchday one.

Suat Serdar sustained a muscle injury in the first half of that 3-0 victory, so his place will likely be taken by Reda Belahyane.

Hellas Verona predicted XI (3-4-3, right to left): Montipo (GK) — Dawidowicz, Coppola, Frese — Tchatchoua, Duda, Belahyane, Lazovic — Kastanos, Tengstedt, Dailon Livramento

Injured: Suat Serdar, Juan Manuel Cruz
Suspended: None

USMNT star Timothy Weah was injured in the 3-0 win over Como and is not likely to be involved here. With Juve's pursuit of at least one new winger ongoing, Nicolo Savona could start at right-back, with Andrea Cambiaso pushed further forward.

There is an alternative, though. Douglas Luiz will likely be restored to the starting lineup to replace Khephren Thuram, who has a hamstring injury. The Brazilian could be moved into a No. 10 role, allowing Nicolo Fagioli to start at the base of midfield and avoid the need to shift Cambiaso from his preferred role.

Juventus predicted XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): Di Gregorio (GK) — Cambiaso, Gatti, Bremer, Cabal — Locatelli, Fagioli — Yildiz, Luiz, Mbangula — Vlahovic

Injured: Timothy Weah, Arkadiusz Milik, Fabio Miretti, Filip Kostic
Suspended: None
