The second half of the Serie A season begins with relegation-threatened Hellas Verona and Empoli battling in gameweek 20 at Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi on Saturday.
Both sides, unsurprisingly out of form, are separated by a point in the standings, further adding to the importance of this weekend's result.
While they were inferior to the Salerno outfit in their final game of 2023 and were fortunate to lose 1-0 despite conceding several chances, Marco Baroni's men suffered misfortune against the league leaders.
Two incidents went against the Mastiffs — Alessandro Bastoni could have been penalised in the build-up to Inter's eventual winning goal in minute 93, and Thomas Henry missed a last-gasp penalty to level at the death — keeping Verona in the bottom three.
Baroni's men were disappointing in their previous game at the Bentegodi, a defeat that saw the Veneto-based outfit fail to extend their undefeated home run to four.
