Verona welcome Genoa to the Marcantonio Bentegodi in Serie A action on Monday.
The hosts are on a three-game winless run in the league. They played out a 1-1 draw at Empoli in their previous outing. They are well-rested after the international break and will be hoping to return to winning ways here.
Genoa are undefeated in their last eight league games but the 1-0 win against Torino at home in March was their only win in that period.

The two northern Italian rivals have crossed paths 75 times across all competitions so far, with their first meeting dating back to 1924. The hosts have enjoyed a period of dominance in this fixture in the last three decades of the 20th century.

Verona vs Genoa Prediction
The visitors have the second-worst attacking record in the division, scoring 23 times in 30 games. They have just one win in their travels this season and, having scored just three goals in their last eight games, they might struggle here.
The hosts have recorded eight of their 11 wins at home and have good odds of coming out on top here. Taking into consideration the form of both sides, a high-scoring draw looks to be the likely outcome here.
Prediction: Verona 2-2 Genoa
