Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-1
Empoli
Stadio Marc’Antonio Bentegodi will host Wednesday’s Coppa Italia game between Verona and Empoli, the two teams who met in the Serie A last month. The Mastini outplayed the Azzurri in the “City of Love” back then, and the hosts are seen as favourites to win the Italian Cup clash as well. Both Veloso and Bessa should be recalled to the starting XI, while all Frabotta, Gunter, Kalinic, and Dawidowicz have been struggling with injuries of late.
Empoli, on the other hand, did well to shock Napoli at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona at the weekend, and, as a result, they are high on spirits ahead of the trip to Verona. A close encounter is on the cards, and, taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Empoli boss Aurelio Andreazzoli should have a full squad to choose from.
