The last victory dates back to five days ago when Semplici's team defeated Inter within the friendly walls bringing home 3 golden points. Since then, only three draws and two defeats. Just two points, one of which came last day from the Ligurian derby against Sampdoria at the tail.
Verona's two victories in the last three rounds require Spezia - which precedes the Scaligeri, third, by a single point - to beat Monza to take oxygen and move away from the relegation zone.
The Lombards, for their part, sail quietly in the middle of the standings at 41 points, +15 from the Venetians. The red and white of Palladino, veterans from the "remuntada" on Fiorentina, are also on a positive streak for five rounds and could also settle for a draw.
