Verona - LR Vicenza

Sunday afternoon at Stadio M. A. Bentegodi, Hellas Verona and LR Vicenza collide for matchday 5 of the Serie B season. The hosts enter the fixture looking to regain their composure following a difficult outing against Benevento, a match that starkly contrasted with their dominant 5-0 victory over S.S. Arezzo earlier in September. With Nicola Leali expected in goal, the home side will aim to leverage the attacking threat of Amin Sarr to unlock a visiting defense that has shown vulnerability in recent weeks.

LR Vicenza arrive seeking consistency after a run of results that included a heavy defeat to Avellino and a recent draw with Juve Stabia. The expected XI features Silvio Merkaj and Claudio Morra leading the line, tasked with testing a Verona backline that has conceded in four of their last five outings. When these sides last met in Serie C1 A on 27 March 2011, they played out a 1-1 draw, a result that highlights the historical parity between these two clubs.
