Match Time & Date:

21:00
Prediction: 2-1
Verona
Bologna will look to extend their winning run at home to three games when they take on Verona in the Coppa Italia last 32. The Rossoblu have been playing an important role in the new Serie A campaign, with the team sitting in 7th place in the standings and it is no wonder the bookies see them as favourites to win Tuesday’s clash. Boss Thiago Motta is widely expected to mix the squad this time out, with all Posch, Kristiansen, Ndoye, Moro, and El Azzouzi pushing for a start. Both Jhon Lucumi and Adama Soumaoro should miss out with injuries.
The Mastini, on the other hand, failed to spoil Juve’s party at Allianz Stadium at the weekend and given their poor away record, we predict that Bologna will book their spot in the Italian Cup last 16. As for the away team, both Isak Hien and Juan Cabal are major doubts, while fit-again Serbia winger Darko Lazovic should be recalled to the starting line-up.
Highlighted Team (Verona):
Founded back in 1903, Hellas Verona are a professional football club that compete in the Italian Serie A. The “Mastini” are well known for their yellow and blue jerseys and they welcome their opponents at Stadio Marc’Antonio Bentegodi. Hellas Verona share rivalry with Chievo Verona and the two local rivals face each other in the “Derby della Scala”.
The first derby of Verona was played on November 18, 2001, with Hellas Verona emerging triumphant (3-2). In 1985 the Mastini won their first and only Scudetto, with the team finishing the season in top position in the Serie A standings, four points clear of second-placed Torino. The likes of Preben Elkjaer, Giuseppe Calderisi, Hans-Peter Briegel, Pietro Fanna and Antonio Di Gennaro led Hellas Verona to the historical success.
However, the most famous footballer who played for Verona is Romania international Adrian Mutu, who scored 16 goals in 57 appearances in the league for the Stadio Marc’ Antonio Bentegodi outfit. Verona will compete in the Italian top flight in the 2017/2018 season as they finished the 2016/2017 Serie B campaign in second position in the table.
