A battle at the bottom of Serie A sees Hellas Verona host fellow strugglers Cremonese on Monday evening, with the sides having posted just one league win between them this term.
Under new management, Hellas at least took a point away to Torino in their first fixture of 2023, but their visitors were denied a draw by conceding in stoppage time to Juventus.
We say: Hellas Verona 0-1 Cremonese
Buoyed by their impressive performance against Juve, Cremonese can finally end their drought by beating the only side sitting beneath them in the Serie A standings. The visitors will be able to catch Verona out at least once, and now have the discipline to get three points over the line at long last.

With only one point taken from their last four matches, Atalanta BC aim to get back to winning ways on Monday night, as they visit Bologna at Stadio Renato Dall'Ara.
Salvaging a late draw on their return to Serie A duty at least stopped the rot for La Dea last time out, while their mid-table hosts were beaten by Roma in the capital.
We say: Bologna 1-2 Atalanta BC
Despite their recent travails, Atalanta's away form is among the best in Serie A this season, and they now meet a Bologna side whose rhythm was disrupted by the long winter break. Perked up by their brave fightback in La Spezia, the visitors can eke out all three points and get back on the top-four trail.
