Defending champions Juventus FC (10-4-3, 33 points) has been undefeated in 10 of their last 11 games in the 2015-2016 Serie A season. The team now hosts bottom-dwelling squad Hellas Verona FC (0-9-8, 8 points) at the Juventus Stadium on Wednesday as Le Zebre will look to extend its winning run to eight games.
With the rapid rise of Juve, they are now at the fourth spot of the league table, just three points behind current league leader Inter Milan and two points behind top contenders Fiorentina and Napoli.
A win could possibly give them a share of league leadership if the three aforementioned teams would fail to secure victories this Wednesday.
Juventus' latest win came from a 3-2 escape against bottom-three squad Carpi at the Stadio Alberto Braglia in Modena last December 20, via BBC Sport.
Croatian striker Mario Mandzukic led Massimiliano Allegri's side with a brace while superstar midfielder Paul Pogba also contributed one goal to complete the team's three-goal haul.
Meanwhile, Verona settled for a 1-1 draw with Sassuolo at the Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi also last December 20, as reported by SkySports.
Hellas team captain Luca Toni equalized the match with a goal at the 39th minute, five minutes after Sassuolo's Sergio Floccari opened the scoring.
The Mastiffs remained winless in the season so far with only eight points to boot off eight drawn matches.
The predicted result is a 3-0 romp for Juventus. The champs continue their ascent in the league table as they attempt to win a fifth straight Italian top flight trophy.
Juventus starting lineup (3-5-2 formation): Buffon; Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini; Cuadrado, Khedira, Marchisio, Pogba, Evra; Dybala, Mandzukic
