It’s a must win for Hellas Verona to start gaining points towards salvation as another defeat will be just chaos. Hellas have not won a single game this season and are last of the Serie A Table. Palermo also in need to win this away game to avoid falling into the relegation zone.
There are 4 precedents between Hellas Verona vs Palermo at the Marc’Antonio Bentegodi Stadium. Stats showing Verona with 3 wins and 1 draw. Palermo never winning at the Bentegodi. Will this be the time? Out of the 9 goals scored, Verona scoring 7 goals while Palermo scoring 2 goals. Surely, an emotional match for the ex Luca Toni facing Palermo.

HELLAS VERONA (4-4-2): Gollini; Sala, Moras, Helander, Souprayen; Ioniță, Viviani, Hallfreðsson, Wszołek; Pazzini, Toni.
