Sassuolo will attempt to secure their second straight win in the Italian Serie A on Sunday against Verona.

Neroverdi outscored Empoli 5-1 in their last game to snap their three-match winless streak.

Giacomo Raspadori and Gianluca Scamacca had two goals each while Domenico Berardi added one. Alessio Dionisi's boys are currently in 10th place in the table with 28 points from 21 games.

Many Sassuolo players have injuries or illnesses including Matheus Henrique, Filippo Romagna, Filip Djuricic, Francesco Magnanelli, Pedro Obiang, Federico Peluso and Nicolás Schiappacasse. Berardi is suspended while Jeremie Boga and Hamed Traore are both seeing action in the Africa Cup of Nations.

Verona, on the other hand, are determined to bounce back after suffering a 2-1 home defeat against bottom-ranked Salernitana in the last round. Only Darko Lazovic scored for Igor Tudor's side, who dropped to 13th place with 27 points from 21 games.

Verona also have a long injury/Covid-19 list and among those who will not feature here are Bosko Sutalo, Daniel Bessa, Davide Faraoni, Gianluca Frabotta, Lorenzo Montipò, Alessandro Berardi and Pawel Dawidowicz. Ivan Ilic is suspended while Martin Hongla is playing in the Africa Cup of Nations.

Sassuolo recorded a 3-2 win over Verona in August in the first meeting between the two sides this season. Raspadori, Duricic and Traorè scored to lead Neroverdi to their third straight win in this series. Only Mattia Zaccagni scored for Verona, who last beat Sassuolo in 2017.
