"Verona have broken a string of unwanted records and they sit rock-bottom of the table. Rightfully regarded as a landslide relegation contender, the Mastiffs open this weekend's fixtures sat nine points adrift of safety and they look set to lose their top-flight status with a whimper."
"Signing off January with a 4-0 drumming against Cagliari, Verona have mustered just a single point from any of their previous five Serie A appearances. Likewise, Saturday's hosts have failed to win any of their last 11 consecutive top-flight showdowns (nine defeats, two draws)."
"Shown a dramatic late red card during last weekend's 3-0 defeat away at Sassuolo, former Monaco midfielder Al Musrati will miss out through suspension here. Likewise, currently serving his own respective two-match ban, ex-Hoffenheim striker Gift Orban will once again miss out on Saturday evening."
Verona faces Napoli in a Serie A fixture with contrasting circumstances. Verona sits rock-bottom of the table, nine points from safety, and is regarded as a relegation certainty. The hosts have endured a disastrous season, mustering just one point from their last five matches and failing to win any of their last eleven consecutive top-flight games. Key players Al Musrati and Gift Orban are unavailable through suspension, while Suat Serdar is sidelined with a knee injury. Napoli, despite winning the Serie A title last season, currently faces mounting pressure under Antonio Conte and seeks an essential victory to boost their campaign.
