Prediction: 1-0
Empoli
Following three consecutive defeats, Verona will look to return to winning ways in the Serie A when they face Empoli on Sunday afternoon. The Mastini have been slipping down the standings week by week, but a win over Empoli will surely give them a confidence boost. Diego Coppola serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards, while all Ondrej Duda, Martin Frese, and Juan Manuel Cruz miss out with injuries.
The Azzurri, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 3-0 loss to AC Milan. Empoli, though, have been struggling on the travels of late, which is probably the main reason why we are going to place our bets on Verona. All Mattia De Sciglio, Nicolas Haas, Szymon Zurkowski, Jacopo Fazzini, Saba Sazonov, and Tyronne Ebuehi are injured for the visiting team. In their last encounter in the “City of Love” Verona defeated Empoli 2-1.
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.
