Verona Form & Team News

Hellas Verona sit a point above Cagliari having won four and lost nine of 13 matches. Their 32 goals conceded is at least seven more than any other team in the division.

After three defeats, they beat Venezia 2-1 at home. Three more Serie A losses followed, including 6-1 at Atalanta before a shock 3-2 home win over struggling AS Roma.

They have not built on that win, losing 3-0 at Fiorentina before being smashed 5-0 at home by Inter Milan last weekend.

Coach Paolo Zanetti made four substitutions at half-time against Inter Milan and could ring the changes to his XI here. Striker Juan Manuel Cruz has not played since February and remains absent.

Ondrej Duda is ruled out in midfield and so is Danish left back Martin Frese.
