It kicks off at the Stadio Bentegodi at 17.00 UK time (18.00 CEST).

You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from today’s three Serie A games on the Liveblog.

This is a pure battle to avoid the drop, because although there are 11 points between them, Verona are in 19^th place and Fiorentina in 16^th, the Viola just two points clear of the relegation zone.

It’s a last chance saloon for Hellas, as losing this basically dooms them to Serie B.

Sandi Lovric, Armel Bella-Kotchap and Suat Serdar are still out of action, though Domagoj Bradaric and Antoine Bernede are available again.

January signing Kieron Bowie has impressed with a goal and an assist in seven Serie A games since his January move from Hibernian.

Fiorentina are in the midst of an injury crisis, made worse by the fact there is a Conference League quarter-final trip to Crystal Palace coming up on Thursday.

Nonetheless, Moise Kean is risked from the start after returning from Italy’s disastrous World Cup play-offs, despite the ankle flaring up again.

Rolando Mandragora, Dodo, Fabiano Parisi, Manor Solomon, Niccolò Fortini, and Tariq Lamptey are also out of action.

It means Gudmundsson and Kean lead the attack, with Cher Ndour fresh from goals for the Italy Under-21 side.
