Juventus coach Andrea Pirlo expects to tough battle today against Hellas Verona.

Pirlo expects another test for the points when Juventus travel to the Bentegodi to face Ivan Juric's Hellas Verona on Saturday.

“It will be a very difficult and physical game," Pirlo said at a press conference. “Juric plays very good football, made up of many one-on-one situations.

“We must be careful with their runs and play.

“They are doing well and then they have added players in the transfer market compared to the first leg. Therefore, a tough challenge awaits us.

“We can't be surprised by their physical approach, knowing they play a similar style to Atalanta.

“We must be careful and know how to play for each other with quick exchanges and attack the space."
