Following four straight defeats to end October, Hellas Verona will try to stop the rot on Sunday, when they host Monza at Stadio Bentegodi.
In addition to a series of Serie A setbacks, Hellas were dumped out of the cup in midweek; meanwhile, Monza sit comfortably in mid-table.
Marco Baroni's men opened their campaign with a Coppa Italia victory over Ascoli, before taking six points from their first two league fixtures against Empoli and Roma - one more Serie A win than they had managed after 16 games last year - but it has been all downhill ever since.
A 1-0 reverse to Juventus last Saturday left Hellas just outside the bottom three, and only one team has scored fewer goals in Italy's top flight this season.
Verona have also picked up fewer points than any other club since September, and even their Coppa Italia run was cut short on Tuesday, when they suffered a 2-0 defeat in Bologna, with Suat Serdar capping a miserable night for fans of the Gialloblu by being sent off in the second half.
