Verona will welcome Torino to the Marcantonio Bentegodi in Serie A on Sunday.
The hosts returned to winning ways after two games as Cyril Ngonge's 71st-minute strike helped them record a 1-0 away win. They are in 17th position in the league table and the win helped them open up a three-point lead over 18th-placed Spezia.
The visitors are unbeaten in their last two league outings. In their previous outing, Antonio Sanabria gave them a lead in the 46th minute which was canceled out by an 86th-minute goal from Gianluca Caprari.
They are in 12th place in the league standings with 46 points to their name. All teams above them until the eighth-placed Fiorentina have 46 points, so a win might help them move into the upper half of the table.
