Rafik Belghali - Creates three chances in Sassuolo tilt Belghali had one shot (zero on goal), three crosses (one accurate), one interception and three chances created in Friday's 1-0 loss versus Sassuolo.

He has secured the starting job over Fallou Cham after coming off the bench in the first two rounds. He has registered at least one chance and one cross in the last four games, piling up eight and 13 (three accurate) respectively and posting five interceptions, three clearances and two tackles (one won).

Domagoj Bradaric - Productive against Sassuolo Bradaric generated seven crosses (two accurate), two key passes, two tackles (one won) and three corners in Friday's 1-0 loss to Sassuolo.

He has launched three or more crosses in four consecutive games, totaling 26 (six accurate) and adding five chances created, 12 corners and four tackles (three won).

Gift Orban - Pedestrian versus Sassuolo Orban registered four shots (one on goal) and one chance created and committed one foul in Friday's 1-0 defeat versus Sassuolo.

Nicolas Valentini - Unused in Sassuolo game Valentini (thigh) didn't come off the bench in Friday's 1-0 defeat versus Sassuolo.

Impact Valentini recovered from a tricky injury but didn't get the start, and the coach made aggressive subs to try to mount a comeback. The new-look Verona defense has worked decently while he was on the mend, but he might supplant one of the three starters or Domagoj Bradaric, with Martin Frese moving to the wing, once he's fully ready to go.

Daniel Mosquera - Subs in late against Sassuolo Mosquera (illness) registered one shot (one on goal) and three passes in five minutes in Friday's 1-0 loss against Sassuolo.

Impact Mosquera was inserted in the final minutes while Verona tried to lay siege to find the equalizer after sitting out three fixtures due to appendicitis. He's likely to stay behind Giovane, Gift Orban and Amin Sarr unless he catches fire scoring-wise.

Lorenzo Montipo - Gives up one goal versus Sassuolo Montipo registered two saves and allowed one goal in Friday's 1-0 defeat against Sassuolo.
