Hellas Verona and Parma face off in a crucial relegation battle at Stadio Bentegodi, with both sides desperate for points to secure their Serie A status. Verona come into this clash with renewed confidence after a vital 1-0 win over Udinese before the international break, thanks to Ondrej Duda’s stunning free kick. Despite boasting the league’s worst defensive record, sporadic victories have kept them just above the drop zone. A win here would not only mark their first back-to-back league triumphs in over a year but also extend their dominant home run against Parma to six consecutive victories.

Parma, on the other hand, salvaged a point in their last outing against bottom-placed Monza, courtesy of Ange-Yoan Bonny’s brilliant solo effort. Under new boss Cristian Chivu, they have shown resilience, earning five points in four matches, a notable improvement from their dismal form under Fabio Pecchia. With 25 points and nine games remaining, history suggests they have a strong chance of survival, as they have only been relegated once in the 21st century when reaching this tally at this stage of the season.

Verona will be missing Martin Frese, Davide Faraoni, Oumar Niasse, and Abdou Harroui due to injuries, though Nicolas Valentini is available after suspension. Casper Tengstedt faces a late fitness test and may start on the bench. Meanwhile, Parma welcome back Simon Sohm and Alessandro Vogliacco but will be without Hernani due to suspension. Milan Djuric remains doubtful, meaning Bonny and Mateo Pellegrino could feature in attack.

Given Verona’s defensive struggles and Parma’s poor away form, this encounter is likely to be a cagey affair. Both sides have plenty to fight for, and a home win seems like the most probable outcome.

维罗纳和帕尔马将在本特戈迪球场进行一场关键的保级大战，双方都迫切希望得到积分来确保自己的意甲地位。维罗纳在国际比赛日之前以1-0战胜乌迪内斯，这要感谢杜达的漂亮任意球。尽管拥有联盟最差的防守记录，但零星的胜利使他们保持在下降区之上。在这里的胜利不仅标志着他们一年多来第一次背靠背的联赛胜利，而且也将他们对帕尔马的统治性全垒打扩大到六连胜。

另一方面，帕尔马在上一场对阵排名垫底的蒙扎的比赛中挽回了一分，这多亏了邦尼精彩的单打。在新主帅齐沃的带领下，他们表现出了韧性，在四场比赛中拿到了5分，这比他们在佩奇亚治下的糟糕状态有了显著的改善。在还剩9场比赛的情况下积25分，历史表明他们有很大的生存机会，因为在本赛季的这个阶段，他们只在21世纪降级过一次。

维罗纳将因伤缺阵弗雷斯、法拉奥尼、尼亚斯和哈鲁伊，不过瓦伦蒂尼停赛后可以上场。滕施泰特将面临体能测试，可能会在替补席上首发。同时，帕尔马将迎来索姆和沃格利亚科的回归，但埃尔纳尼将因停赛而缺阵。德尤里奇仍然不确定，这意味着博尼和佩莱格里诺可能会成为进攻主力。

考虑到维罗纳的防守挣扎和帕尔马糟糕的客场状态，这场比赛很可能是一场谨慎的比赛。双方都有很多事情要做，主场获胜似乎是最有可能的结果。
