In a clash between two teams from the lower half of the Serie A standings, 18th-placed Verona will invite 14th-placed Fiorentina to the Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi on Monday (February 27).
The hosts saw their four-game snapped following a 1-0 defeat at Roma last Sunday. They remain in the relegation zone, trailing 17th-placed Spezia by just two points.
Fiorentina, meanwhile, are winless in their last six league outings and are coming off a 1-1 draw with Empoli. Substitute Arthur Cabral equalised in the 85th minute after Nicolo Cambiaghi had given Empoli the lead in the 28th minute.
Despite their struggles in the league, La Viola produced an impressive performance in the UEFA Europa Conference League knockout playoffs in midweek. They beat Braga 7-2 on aggregate, with Riccardo Saponara, Rolando Mandragora and Cabral scoring in the second leg at home.
