The Serie A tie at Stadio Carlo Castellani on Sunday sees home team Empoli welcome visitors Hellas Verona, so let’s look at the latest injury news and predicted line ups.
Empoli will want to continue from where they left off last time out with a 1-3 Serie A victory against Monza. We think that Azzurri may well use the 3-4-2-1 system with Devis Vásquez, Luca Marianucci, Ardian Ismajli, Mattia Viti, Emanuel Gyasi, Alberto Grassi, Liam Henderson, Giuseppe Pezzella, Jacopo Fazzini, Liberato Cacace and Sebastiano Esposito.
Nicolas Haas, Christian Kouamé, Saba Sazonov, Szymon Żurkowski, Pietro Pellegri and Youssef Maleh will not be taking part for Empoli gaffer Roberto D'Aversa.
Possible Empoli team versus Hellas Verona
In their last game, Hellas Verona drew 1-1 in the Serie A tie with Como. It’s our belief that Verona seem likely to make use of a 3-4-1-2 system by sending out Lorenzo Montipò, Daniele Ghilardi, Diego Coppola, Nicolás Valentini, Jackson Tchatchoua, Pawel Dawidowicz, Ondrej Duda, Domagoj Bradaric, Tomas Suslov, Amin Sarr and Casper Tengstedt.
Out of a mainly healthy group, there is only the lone fitness problem for the Hellas Verona gaffer Paolo Zanetti to be concerned with. Abdou Harroui (Cruciate ligament tear) misses out for this game.
