Our prediction for this Serie A match:
There will be fireworks when Verona and Napoli face each other at Stadio Marc’Antonio Bentegodi in the Serie A round 19. The Mastini aim to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to Bologna, and they are likely to go all guns blazing at Napoli on Sunday afternoon. Verona are tough to beat at home, but the game against Napoli will be anything but a walk in the park for the hosts. The likes of Vieira, Favilli, Ceccherini, Miguel Veloso, and Benassi are all out of contention with injuries.
The Neapolitans, on the other hand, aim to build on a thrilling 6-0 win over Fiorentina. Genaro Gatusso’s men are eager to keep their Scudetto hopes alive, and given Verona’s display in the defeat to Bologna, away win should be considered. Midfielder Ruiz has been quarantined following his positive test for coronavirus, as well as Victor Osimhen. Malcuit, on the other hand, is sidelined with injury.
