Prediction: 1-1
Verona
Salernitana will be looking to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to Atalanta when they take on Verona at Stadio Arechi on Matchday 5. I Granata do not seem to be competitive at this level, with the team losing each of their four league fixtures, but their display in the defeat to Atalanta was anything but poor. Defender Mattero Ruggeri remains on the sidelines with injury, while all Aya, Capezzi, and Veseli are rated doubtful for the midweek clash.
The Mastini, on the other hand, aim to build on a come-from-behind win over Roma. Verona did well to record their first win of the season, but seeing that they are not regarded as good travelers, the share of spoils is on the cards at Stadio Arechi. All Frabotta, Ruegg, Sutalo, and Veloso are out of contention through injuries. You should know that under 2.5 goals have been netted in five of the previous six meetings between the two clubs.

Kevin Ruegg is a FC Zurich product. Ruegg was born in Uster, Switzerland on August 5, 1998 and he made his senior debut with FC Zurich on February 26 in a 4-1 win over Wohlen.
