A battle near the bottom of the Serie A table sees relegation candidates Hellas Verona host a plucky Lecce side.

The match between the Gialloblu and the Giallorossi kicks off at 14.00 UK time at the Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi.

It’s been an incredibly difficult season for Verona and they currently sit 18th in the Serie A table after 18 games, picking up just nine points from two wins and three draws. Marco Zaffaroni’s side are desperate to start climbing up the table and they have a long way to go, being seven points behind 17th place Sassuolo.

The Gialloblu cannot count on the injured Ajdin Hrustic, Simone Verdi or Davide Faraoni.

Lecce have started to find their footing in the Italian topflight following their promotion from Serie B last season. The team have not lost in their last six outings, being Sampdoria and Lazio and holding Milan and Spezia to draws.

The Puglian outfit are without Marin Pongracic and Kastriot Dermaku, both of whom are out injured.

Verona: Montipò; Dawidowicz, Hien, Ceccherini; Depaoli, Ilic, Tameze, Doig; Lazovic, Lasagna; Djuric

Lecce: Falcone; Gendrey, Baschirotto, Umtiti, Gallo; Gonzalez, Hjulmand, Blin; Strefezza, Colombo, Di Francesco
