Juventus continued its impressive run by claiming its fifth consecutive Serie A victory with a 2-0 win over Hellas Verona on March 3, 2025, firmly placing them in fourth position on the league table. This match marked another successful performance for the Turin side as they now sit just six points behind league leaders Inter and three behind Atalanta, their next opponents.
The opening half saw Juventus come out aggressively, launching several attempts on goal. Manuel Locatelli attempted the first shot just three minutes in, but it went wide. The visitors from Verona responded with Tomáš Suslov, whose effort was bravely parried away by Juventus keeper Di Gregorio.
Juventus pushed forward, and by the 13th minute, they found themselves creating substantial threats. A first real chance came when Andrea Cambiaso served Thuram, whose shot was blocked spectacularly by Montipò. The game showcased Juventus's offensive dominance, yet frustration mounted when Weston McKennie’s goal from a corner was disallowed due to a foul on the goalkeeper.
Near the end of the first half, Verona shocked the home crowd when Suslov scored from outside the box. Unfortunately for the visitors, the goal was ruled out after VAR confirmed Faraoni was offside earlier in the play.
After the break, Juventus continued to dictate the game, and persistence finally paid off. Khephren Thuram scored the opener on 72 minutes, finishing sharply from Cambiaso's precise cut-back. This was significant as Thuram became the first French midfielder to score at least three goals for Juventus during his debut season since Blaise Matuidi back in 2017/18.
Teun Koopmeiners sealed the match with another goal just before the final whistle, bringing the score to 2-0. His perfectly executed shot came after another chaotic sequence where Verona’s defense failed to clear the ball. This added to Copa's misery and marked the end of the match.
For Juventus, this was not just another victory; it showcased their current form as the team has managed to score in their last 14 Serie A matches, extending their record streak since the 15-match scoring streak between October 7, 2023, and January 27, 2024. Their last three matches have also seen the team keep clean sheets, reflecting their improved defensive solidity.
After the match, head coach Thiago Motta expressed confidence not only about his squad's performance but also about the camaraderie brewing within the team. He stated, "Yes, I feel the confidence of both the club and players." Motta’s leadership continues to yield positive results as Juventus solidifies its position close to the top of the league.
On the other hand, Hellas Verona remains anchored at 14th place and just four points above the relegation zone after this defeat. With only 12 matches where they have scored this season, there is considerable concern about their offense going forward.
Juventus will now face Atalanta on March 9, desperately trying to close the gap on Inter as they continue their pursuit of the Serie A title. If they maintain this form, the bianconeri may very well capitalize on their current momentum and make significant strides up the league table.
Overall, the two-goal win against Verona reflects not just individual brilliance but also the collective strength of the Juventus side, pointing toward exciting prospects for the remainder of the season.
