In a clash between two teams from the lower half of the Serie A table, last-placed Verona will welcome Spezia to Marcantonio Bentegodi on Sunday.
The hosts have endured a slow start to their league campaign and have just one win to their name after 14 games. They have lost their last nine games in the league and will need to improve going forward.
In their previous outing, they fell to a narrow 1-0 defeat at home to Juventus on Wednesday. They had failed to score in their previous game against Monza last Sunday as well, which ended in a 2-0 away defeat.
