Verona Preview – Will the Yellow and Blues make home advantage count?
Verona have been in poor form since returning to action in June, winning just two of 11 Serie A fixtures. Ivan Juric’s men are without a win in seven since beating Parma 3-2 at home on July 1st, drawing four and losing three.
Verona have had a mixed bag of results this season, but they have had a decent first campaign back in the top tier. The Yellow and Blues have picked up 11 wins and suffered 12 defeats, drawing 13 times along the way. No team in Italy’s top division have drawn more games up until now.
Verona have been pretty solid on their own patch this term. Juric’s troops have picked up eight home wins, with five of those coming in their last nine. However, after four successive home victories, the Mastiffs have won just one their last five on their own patch.
With two games to go, Verona could still finish as high as eighth. After Wednesday’s home match, the Yellow and Blues end their 2019-20 season with a trip to Genoa on Sunday.
SPAL Preview – Can the bottom club pick up a positive result on the road?
SPAL finished in a respectable 13th place in Serie A last season, but the White and Blues have had a disastrous campaign this time around. The Ferrara club have collected a mere 20 points, winning only five of their 36 matches. Relegation to Serie B has been on the cards for a very long time.
SPAL have the worst away record in the league. They have picked up ten home points as well as ten points on their travels. Away from home, Gli Spallini have conceded 34 goals and lost 14 times. Since winning at Parma in March, Luigi Di Biagio’s men have lost each of their past four away fixtures.
