Hellas Verona host promoted side Salernitana late on Sunday in Serie A as they look to build on their earlier victory.
The Mastiffs started the New Year with a 2-1 win away to Spezia, thanks to a second-half brace from Gianluca Caprari.
It was their first victory in four games in all competitions, taking them up to 11th in the league table with 27 points from 20 games.
Salernitana haven't enjoyed the best return to Serie A, sitting rock-bottom in the standings with only eight points from 18 games.
The Granets look set to return to the second tier unless their form takes a turn for the better.
