Hellas Verona are intent on ending a four-month wait for Serie A success when they welcome Lazio to Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi on Saturday.
The club from Veneto seek a victory in gameweek 15 to potentially move out of the relegation zone, while Maurizio Sarri's team are keen to secure a fourth consecutive win in all competitions.
However, reality has not been kind to the Mastiffs, whose run without winning a game in all competitions clocked 13 after Sunday's 3-3 draw with fellow strugglers Udinese.
Despite the absence of wins, Verona must be pleased that the losing run — Mastini were defeated six times on the trot in all competitions (five in Serie A) — has been accompanied by consecutive draws as they seek to arrest the worrisome drought.
Marco Baroni's men should believe they are nearing a turnaround after the last two games that have seen the Mastiffs score more goals (five) than they managed between September and the November international break (four).
