&lt;p&gt;A crucial match with relegation relegation implications at the Bentegodi between Hellas Verona and Empoli, both separated by just one point in the table. Verona, despite finishing the first half of the season with two more points than the previous campaign, aim to win to distance themselves from the third-to-last position in the table. Empoli, with 12 points fewer than the previous year after 19 games, seek a victory that has eluded them since 12 November (1-0 against Napoli) to overtake their opponents in the table.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Verona, after winning their first two games this season, managed to secure full points only once in their last 17 matches (1W, 5D, 11L): a 2-0 win at home against Cagliari in December. Since September, only Almería (four), Lorient, and Union Berlin (both seven) have gathered fewer points than the Gialloblù (eight) in the top five European leagues. In the six instances where Verona collected 14 or fewer points after the first 19 games in a Serie A season, they avoided relegation only once in the last campaign when they finished with 12 points.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On the other hand, Empoli have earned three points in the last seven games and must improve their scoring form. In Serie A TIM, no team has scored fewer goals away than Andreazzoli`s men, with only five goals. Conversely, Verona have only scored nine goals at home, second worst only to their upcoming opponents (also five).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DID YOU KNOW?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Empoli have scored the joint-fewest goals in the big five European leagues this season (10 – level with Köln); only once have the Tuscans netted fewer goals after the opening 19 games played in a Serie A season (8 in 1986/87).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hellas Verona, along with Napoli, are one of the only two teams to not yet drop any points after being ahead in Serie A this season, with three wins out of three for the Gialloblu once they went ahead.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HEAD-TO-HEAD&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After losing four of the first eight Serie A matches against Empoli (W3 D1), Verona have remained unbeaten in each of the last five encounters against the Tuscans in the competition, winning two and drawing three.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the 13 meetings between Hellas Verona and Empoli in Serie A, the Azzurri have never managed to score more than one goal in a game, remaining goalless in the last match last August; only once have the Tuscans fail to find the net for two games in a row in the competition against the Gialloblu, doing so across 1987 and 1988, losing 0-1 away from home in both cases.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PLAYERS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Only Bayer Leverkusen’s Patrik Schick has played fewer minutes (114) than Hellas Verona’s Thomas Henry (165) among the players who have scored at least three goals in the big five European leagues this season.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nicolò Cambiaghi has had the most shots (41) and joint-most shot on target (11 – level with Rémy Cabella), among those who have not yet scored in the big five European leagues this season. Indeed, his last goal in Serie A dates back to May 2023 against Salernitana, with 22 appearances without a goal since then.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DISCIPLINE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Suspended: Lazovic (Verona, 2)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cautioned: Ngonge, Magnani, Suslov e Coppola (Verona); Cancellieri, Grassi, Gyasi e Fazzini (Empoli)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;REFEREE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Doveri (Perrotti-Rossi), IV: Minelli, VAR: Di Paolo, AVAR: Sozza&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;UPCOMING MATCHES IN SERIE A TIM&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Roma-Hellas Verona (Saturday 20 January, 18:00 CET)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Empoli-Monza (Sunday 20 January, 15:00 CET)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Photo LaPresse)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
