Prediction: 2-1
Bologna
Stadio Marc' Antonio Bentegodi will host Friday's football game between Verona and Bologna. The Mastini did well to hold league leaders Napoli to a goalless draw at the weekend, but that did not help them escape the relegation zone. Both Magnani and Veloso are back from suspension, while Henry remains in the recovery room. Serbia winger Darko Lazovic is a major doubt.
The Rossoblu, on the other hand, head into the match following a 1-1 draw with Milan, but it has to be noted that the Rossoneri boss rested several first-team regulars for the Champions league clash with Napoli. Anyhow, home win should be considered as Verona are desperate to secure the Serie A survival. As for the away side, all Cambiaso, Arnautovic, and Soriano remain in the recovery room. In their last meeting in the "City of Love" Verona defeated Bologna 2-1.
Highlighted Player (Gary Medel):
Gary Medel is a versatile defensive midfielder who currently plays for Inter Milan in Serie A. The Chilean professional is well-known for this work-rate and untiring approach along with his aggressive, physically demanding and hard-tackling style of play.

Medel started his professional career with Universidad Catolica as a youth player before moving to Boca Juniors. He followed it up with a stint in La Liga with Sevilla. Medel was also a key member with Cardiff City, which was his next destination. The relegation of Cardiff meant that Medel moved to Inter Milan. A full international with over 80 caps for Chile, Medel has represented his nation at two FIFA World Cups and an equal number of Copa America tournaments.
He was a key member of Chilean team that won the 2015 Copa America and was subsequently named in the ‘Team of the tournament’.
