Verona will invite Sassuolo to the Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi in Serie A action on Friday. The hosts have endured a winless run in the league thus far and trail the Neroverdi by three points.
The Mastini suffered a second consecutive loss last week as they fell to a 2-0 away loss to Roma in Serie A. They had played Venezia in the Coppa Italia second round earlier last week and lost 5-4 on penalties after the score ended 0-0 in regulation time.
The visitors have seen conclusive results in their last seven games in all competitions this season, recording three wins. They returned to winning ways after two games last week, defeating Udinese 3-1 at home in Serie A. Armand Laurienté and Ismaël Koné scored in quick succession in the first half, and Edoardo Iannoni added the third goal in the 81st minute.
