Verona preview: Beaten in Turin
Verona had been hoping to build on their 1-0 home win over Fiorentina when they made the trip to Juventus last weekend.
However, Paolo Zanetti's side's luck appeared to run out at the Allianz Stadium as Juve scored two second-half goals to clinch a comfortable 2-0 victory in the end.
Daniel Mosquera, Martin Frese, Suat Serdar and Abdou Harroui make up the list of the four main injury concerns for Sunday's hosts.
Predicted lineup: Montipo (GK), Faraoni, Dawidowicz, Tchatchoua, Valentini, Coppola, Duda, Niasse, Suslov, Livramento & Sarr

Bologna preview: Back-t0-back wins
Bologna made it back-to-back wins in Serie A last time out but had to come from behind at home to Cagliari.
The visitors took the lead in the 22nd minute and held that advantage into the halftime break but a 48th-minute penalty and another goal in the 56th minute from Riccardo Orsolini proved enough for Bologna to secure all three points.
Remo Freuler picked up another yellow card during that win over Cagliari and is now suspended for the trip to Verona, while Emil Holm looks set to miss the game through injury.
Predicted lineup: Skorupski (GK), Lykogiannis, Calabria, Lucumí, Erlic, Ferguson, Pobega, Fabbian, Orsolini, Castro & Domínguez

Player to watch: Riccardo Orsolini
Riccardo Orsolini has proven to be a great signing for Bologna where he is now enjoying his seventh full season at the club.
The goalscoring midfielder/forward is on course to top his best-ever scoring season for the club. Orsolini is currently on nine Serie A goals following that brace against Cagliari last weekend and only needs three more goals to beat his tally from the 2022/23 campaign.
The French forward has made an immediate impact
We're backing the 28-year-old Italian to put in another impressive performance for Bologna this weekend away at Verona, a game we have tipped the visitors to narrowly win.
