After losing their last three home league games against Napoli, Verona could lose four on the bounce against The Partenopei at home in Serie A for the first time.
Verona have won four of their nine home games in Serie A this season; only in 2013/14 (8) and 2001/02 (5) have they won more of their opening nine home games in a Serie A campaign.
The last time Napoli drew an away Serie A game was in July against Bologna: since then, six wins and four losses for The Azzurri; in three of these defeats, they have also failed to score.
Mattia Zaccagni has had a direct hand in three of Verona’s last four goals in Serie A (1 goal, 2 assists): as many as in the previous 12 Gialloblù goals (3).
Napoli’s Dries Mertens scored three goals and provided two assists in his first two Serie A games against Verona, however he has since failed to find the net or provide an assist in six games against them.
