Hellas Verona vs. Juventus: Team News, Preview, Live Stream and TV Info

On the surface, Hellas Verona’s last home game appears to have little riding on it, the already-relegated hosts taking on a Juventus side who have clinched the title with matches to spare for the fifth consecutive season.

Verona will be looking to end their top-flight stint in style, however, particularly following Luca Toni’s announcement that he will retire at the end of the campaign. “We played with focus and dignity,” coach Gigi Del Neri told RAI Sport recently, adding that it was “a shame about going into Serie B.”

Hellas have endured an incredibly difficult campaign, going without a win until early February and having still only amassed four victories thus far. Also netting just 30 goals in their 36 outings to date, they will be aware that they have not won at home against Juventus since April 2000, a run of five matches.
