Seeking to move clear of the relegation zone, Venezia will take a trip to the Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi to face Hellas Verona on Sunday.
I Lagunari will also be looking to get one over the hosts, having lost each of the last three meetings between the sides and failed to win any of their last six matches.

This followed a 2-1 victory at Torino on February 12 which saw their seven-game winless run across competitions come to an end.
While they have one game in hand, Venezia currently sit in 17th place with 22 points from 25 games. They are level on points with 18th placed and relegation-threatened Cagliari.
