Serie A Preview: Verona v Juventus

Andrea Mandorlini's charges have been one of the surprise packages in Italy's top flight this term, and sit fifth in the table with 35 points from 22 matches.

A superb record at the Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi has been a significant factor in the club's success, with eight of their 11 league victories this season coming on home soil.

Antonio Conte's side are gunning for a third straight league title, and have shown no signs of loosening their grip on the championship.

Juve's success is in no small part down to their attacking prowess. Strikers Carlos Tevez and Fernando Llorente have combined to account for 20 of their team's 54 goals, the highest tally in the league.

"We face them calmly. Beating Sassuolo interrupted a run of three defeats," he told Il Giornale.

"We will go into the field as 11 lions to cause them problems."
