Good Attacking Performance

Verona have shown a poor defensive solidity so far, having conceded 42 goals in their previous fixtures.

Verona are missing five players through injury or illness. This will affect Igor Tudor’s selection choices significantly.

With an eighteenth position in the league and 5 wins, 13 losses and 7 draws, they currently have 22 points in the League having won five matches, drawn seven fixtures, and lost 13 games.
