Napoli will be looking to keep up with the top-four in the 2023-24 Serie A when they travel to Marcantonio Bentegodi to take on Verona on Saturday.
Currently occupying the fifth spot in the league, Rudi Garcia's side will be looking to get back to winning ways after falling to a 3-1 loss against Fiorentina ahead of the international break.
On the other hand, Marco Baroni's men are just four points above the relegation zone owing to a 2-1 loss at Frosinone that extended Verona's winless run to six games.
