How Juventus could line up against Hellas Verona

Ahead of Saturday's Serie A fixture between Hellas Verona and Juventus, Sports Mole looks at how the visitors could line up at Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi.

Juventus make the trip to Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi looking to strengthen their grip of top spot in the Serie A standings.

After their setback at Napoli last month, Juventus responded with a 3-0 victory over Fiorentina on Sunday, a game which also saw Cristiano Ronaldo extend his top-flight scoring streak to nine matches.

However, with each of Juve's goals coming from set pieces, Maurizio Sarri must decide whether to retain the same personnel and system this weekend.

Here, Sports Mole predicts how the Italian champions may line up against their in-form hosts.

Sarri has made a habit of retaining successful teams and tactics this season, potentially an indication that he will opt against making any alterations on Saturday.

That would mean Ronaldo being kept out on the left flank, allowing Gonzalo Higuain to continue down the middle in place of Paulo Dybala.

While the playmaker could be included out on the right, Sarri is expected to hand another opportunity to Douglas Costa.

With Miralem Pjanic having proved his fitness after injury, the Bosnian should continue in midfield, resulting in the likes of Blaise Matuidi and Aaron Ramsey having to stay among the replacements.

Danilo is not too far away from a return to action, although Giorgio Chiellini, Sami Khedira and Merih Demiral are long-term absentees.
