Juventus‘ youngster Enzo Barrenechea could start his third Serie A game this season, while Dusan Vlahovic is favourite over Arek Milik.

It kicks off at 19.45 GMT.

The Old Lady must cope without the suspended Adrien Rabiot and Leandro Paredes, while Paul Pogba, Federico Chiesa, Leonardo Bonucci and Kaio Jorge are injured.

Argentinean midfielder Barrenechea was tried in the starting XI on Friday and has a chance to start in central midfield tonight. The other option is Fabio Miretti.

Vlahovic scored three goals in two appearances during the break and is favourite to start in attack alongside Moise Kean, but Milik is back from an injury and is available. Either Juan Cuadrado or Mattia De Sciglio will start on the right flank.

Diego Coppola is suspended for Hellas Verona. Darko Lazovic, Milan Djuric, Thomas Henry and Ajdin Hrustic are injured.

Cyril Ngonge is favourite to start over Kevin Lasagna.

Adolfo Gaich scored in his first and only appearance against Juventus when he was playing for Benevento in 2021 and could become the fifth player to find the net in his first two matches against the Old Lady in the 2000s after Mauro Icardi, Obafemi Martins, Samuel Eto’o and Andriy Shevchenko.

Juventus-Hellas Verona: probable line-ups
