Players to watch out for:

Arthur Atta (Udinese)

The French midfielder will be one of the most exciting players to watch in the Italian league this season. He is a complete midfielder who has an excellent reading of the game. He is also very creative and can find the back of the net, too.

He scored against Carraresa during a Coppa Italia encounter, and fans will be expecting something similar from him against Hellas Verona. 

Domagoj Bradarić (Hellos Verona)

The Croatian will be high on confidence coming into this game, as he came off the bench and scored the opening goal of the game against Cerignola. He is an excellent box-to-box midfielder with elite offensive and defensive skills. His effectiveness will prove to be very helpful for Hellas Verona as they are expected to have a difficult game against Udinese.
