Our prediction for this Coppa Italia match:
Verona play host to Venezia at their Stadio Marc’Antonio Bentegodi in the Italian Cup last 32. The Mastini are desperate to return to winning ways after failing to record a triumph in the early stages of the new Serie A campaign. However, Wednesday’s game will be anything but a walk in the park for Paolo Zanetti’s troops. The likes of Cham, Gagliardini, Harroui, Mosquera, Suslov, and Valentini are expected to miss out with injuries for the home team.
I Lagunari, on the other hand, are on a three-game winless run in the Italian second tier. Venezia, on the other hand, have been having their ups and downs in the new Serie B season. As Verona have turned their “Bentegodi” into a real fortress, we predict that I Lagunari are going to return to Veneto with their hands empty. Midfielder Bartol Franjic is rated doubtful for the away team after picking up a knock in a 2-1 loss to Cesena at the weekend.
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.
