Prediction: 1-0
Verona
Buoyed by a hard-fought 1-0 win over Milan in Derby di Italia, Juventus will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Verona on Saturday evening. The Bianconeri are on a quest to regain Scudetto, but it remains to be seen if the ongoing betting scandal is going to affect the team’s performance. Fit-again striker Dusan Vlahovic should be recalled to the starting XI, while both Paul Pogba and Nicolo Fagioli miss out through suspension.
The likes of Danilo, Alex Sandro, and Mattia de Sciglio are sidelined with injuries. The Mastini, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 3-1 loss to Osimhen-less Napoli at the weekend, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on the title-chasing hosts. All Isak Hien, Juan Cabal, and Jayden Braaf are out of contention through injuries, speaking of the visiting team.

After starting his youth career at FC Dallas, Weston McKennie moved to Germany in the summer of 2016, signing a contract with Bundesliga side Schalke 04. The American footballer made his Bundesliga debut on May 20, 2017, coming as a substitute in the 77th minute of the match.

Weston McKennie has two caps for the USA U20 team as well. His main position is central midfield, but he used as both defensive and attacking midfielder as well. The USA international was born in Fort Lewis, Washington on August 28, 1998. His preferred foot is right.
