Team News

Empoli
Verona
  • Vincent Laurini got injured in the game against Lazio and is expected to miss this game, with Luca Bittante favourite to start instead.
  • Massimo Maccarone was kept on the bench during the game at the Olimpico as part of their rotation, but there is no doubt he will play here.
  • Filip Helander left the pitch early in the game against Frosinone, with Vangelis Moras replacing him. The Greek defender is now favourite to start if his teammate does not recover in time.
  • Luca Toni and Giampaolo Pazzini could both feature up front in a 4-4-2.

Prediction

  • Empoli were beaten by Lazio at the Olimpico, showing little to no sign of reaction after going down and giving the impression that they are just sailing towards the end of the season.
  • Any hope of surviving took a crushing blow in the final minutes in their direct relegation clash against Frosinone. They are rock bottom of Serie A, with three wins to their name all season and nine points adrift of safety.
  • The hosts have, in this fixture, the perfect chance of getting back to winning ways, but they will have to improve their performance nonetheless.
