At the Gewiss Stadium, a lot was on the line as Hellas was drawn back into the relegation zone and La Dea dropped to eighth following two straight losses. After racist remarks were made towards Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic, the Curva Nord was shut down.
Hans Hateboer, Matteo Ruggeri, Jose Luis Palomino, Brandon Soppy, and Jeremie Boga were all missing, while Ademola Lookman returned after a lengthy absence. Kevin Lasagna, Ondrej Duda, Thomas Henry, Pawel Dawidowicz, and Ajdin Hrustic were all missed by Verona. The hosts missed a shot by Darko Lazovic that was wide of the near post because they failed to see the threat, and they soon conceded after again giving the ball away carelessly. On a slide-rule ball from Filippo Terracciano, Lazovic beat the offside trap and scored from a narrow-angle.
