Hellas Verona – Genoa

Genoa has used its right to postpone the game in the previous round as fourteen team members and staff have been tested positive for COVID-19. The whole team has been isolated without any training sessions whatsoever. Still, another four people were tested positive for coronavirus later one. Some of the players resumed training on October 13. One should note that one of them was Eldor Shomurodov, who recently signed the contract. Of course, it will take time for him and the team to get back to full fitness. Meanwhile, Verona has suffered its first defeat in the previous round. Despite the final score of 0:1, The Mastiffs demonstrated a robust kind of game. A break for international matches is a good opportunity to heal injuries and rest. In addition, the team has been strengthened by Kalinic. The head coach Juric has constantly been complaining that new players needed time to understand the essence of his football philosophy. Therefore he should have used this pause wisely. Verona seems to be the favourite against weakened Genoa. The Mastiffs should easily get three points in this match-up.
