A massive relegation six-pointer is brewing in Serie A as Verona host Empoli this weekend. This matchday 20 will be played at the Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi in Verona on Saturday. Ahead of this round, the hosts are 18th with 14 points while the visitors are 19th with 13 points. After 19 rounds, only three points separate the bottom-four teams which adds a lot of interest in this match. The result here could potentially change the positions of other teams too, making it an intriguing game for all teams. Verona lost 2-1 to leaders Inter Milan in their last league match, making it a third defeat across four league matches. In fact, they have lost 11 of their last 17 league games, winning only once. The scene is no different at home, where Verona have lost four and drawn three of their last eight Serie A matches.

Empoli have a chance to upstage their hosts and move into potential safety positions, but need to improve on their recent form. A 3-0 loss to AC Milan in their last game meant they have now gone seven games without a win. That included three draws and four defeats, putting a question mark on their ability to win here. While that remains true, the visitors can hope to pick up at least a point as they have done so in seven of their last 14 Serie A matches. On the road too, they have avoided defeat in four of their last six away league games increasing their chances of getting at least a point here.
