CAM: Aaron Ramsey

Maurizio Sarri chose to use a 4-3-3 formation against Fiorentina, which meant Douglas Costa was given the start instead of Aaron Ramsey. However, that shouldn’t be the case again when they play Verona on Saturday.

We saw last season that Paulo Dybala isn’t quite at his best when Juve plays the 4-3-3 and Juve absolutely needs him to be in their starting lineup. That should give Ramsey a chance to rejoin the starting lineup and hopefully show more than what Juve has gotten out of him over the last month.

ST: Paulo Dybala

Paulo Dybala wasn’t given the start against Fiorentina, but he once again showed why he should start every match with his substitute appearance. While Gonzalo Higuain struggled to accomplish much during his time in the match, Dybala only needed 25 minutes to deliver a beautiful corner kick for to set up Matthijs de Ligt’s goal.

He has been fantastic against Verona in his career, scoring 5 goals and assisting another in just 8 matches. If he plays at the level he’s been playing at all season, he should be able to add to that tally.

ST: Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo extended his Serie A scoring streak to 9 matches on Sunday and now has a chance to pull within one match of tying the league record if he can score against Verona. With the way he’s playing right now, it would be hard to imagine him not scoring in Saturday’s match. The one thing working against him, it’s the fact that Verona has had the league’s 4th strongest defense so far this season. This could be a tough task for Juve’s attack, but the form Ronaldo is currently in should allow him to succeed against this tough defense.
