Hellas Verona will host Torino at the Marc Antonio Bentegodi on Sunday in another round of the 2023-24 Serie A campaign. The home side have had their struggles in the league this season but remain on course to avoid the drop.
They beat Fiorentina 2-1 last time out, with Darko Lazovic scoring the opener from the spot in the first half before Tijjani Noslin netted the winner in the second half to continue his positive start to life in Italy.
Hellas Verona sit 14th in the league table with 34 points from 35 matches. They are four points above the drop zone and can confirm safety with a win on Sunday provided results elsewhere go their way.
Torino, meanwhile, have struggled to pick up points in the league of late and are now pretty much out of contention for continental football. They played out a dour goalless draw against Bologna last time out, with both sides guilty of lacking inventiveness in the final third as they managed a shot on target apiece.
