Virtus Verona vs Villa VallePrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

At the Mario Gavagnin-Sinibaldo Nocini in Verona, Virtus Verona open Group B against Villa Valle. The hosts come down from Serie C, where their last outings produced a 1-4 at Lumezzane, a 1-1 at home with Alcione and a 2-2 away to Pergolettese; in the summer they lost 1-0 at Sudtirol and 2-1 at Hellas Verona, with the 1-1 at Dolomiti Bellunesi the only test in that run they did not lose. Villa Valle closed Group B with three straight 1-1 draws, at Caldiero Terme, against Virtus Ciserano Bergamo and away to Milan II, plus three defeats: 1-2 at Breno, 1-3 to Oltrepò and 0-1 to USD Casatese. No previous meeting between the two appears in the available material, and the table offers nothing to read since the season is only starting now. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
