The Neroverdi have amassed three wins and two draws in their last five games, the longest ever unbeaten top flight run in the club’s history.
Hitman Zaza is suspended, while Thomas Manfredini and Gianluca Pegolo are on the treatment table.
Sergio Floccari is chosen ahead of Antonio Floro Flores to fill in for the Italy international, while Saphir Taider replaces Matteo Brighi in midfield.
More pressure will be on Italy Under-21 international Domenico Berardi to deliver in Zaza’s absence.
On the other hand, Verona are without a victory in six rounds, having amassed just three draws.
Jacopo Sala, Mounir Obbadi, Frederik Sorensen, Ivan Martic and Bosko Jankovic are all ruled out of this trip to Modena.
Luca Toni leads the attack with Nico Lopez and Lazaros Christodoulopoulos, dropping Juanito Gomez Taleb to the bench.
Uruguayan talent Nico Lopez is hoping to find the net for the third game in a row.
