A place in the round of 16 of the Coppa Italia will be on the line when Bologna and Hellas Verona go head-to-head on Tuesday.
Marco Baroni’s team will head into the game looking to pick up their first win in seven visits to the Renato Dall'Ara Stadium and end their three-match losing streak.
Bologna were denied successive Serie A wins for the first time this season as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Sassuolo on Saturday.
However, Thiago Motta’s men have now gone eight consecutive games without defeat, claiming five draws and three wins since a 2-0 loss against AC Milan in August’s league opener.
Bologna now turn their attention to the Coppa Italia, where they picked up a comfortable 2-0 victory over Cesena in the first round on August 11.
Hellas Verona, on the other hand, were left empty-handed once again as they suffered a 1-0 defeat against Juventus on Saturday.
Baroni’s men have now lost three games on the bounce, conceding six goals and scoring twice since a goalless draw against Torino on October 2.
Hellas Verona will look to stop the rot on their return to the Coppa Italia, where they cruised to a 3-1 victory over Ascoli in the opening round on August 12.
