Football fans in South Africa, get ready for some Coppa Italia action! Audace Cerignola will face off against Hellas Verona in a highly anticipated match. This game kicks off the Coppa Italia schedule on Monday, and excitement is building.
Team News and Preparations
Audace Cerignola earned their spot in the competition after a strong showing in the Serie C playoffs last season. They overcame Avellino in the preliminary round, setting the stage for this clash with Verona. Expect a packed stadium as fans eager to witness the game.
Hellas Verona, however, has seen significant changes since securing their Serie A survival last season. Key players like Ghilardi, Coppola, Duda, Faraoni, Lazovic, and Tchatchoua are no longer with the team. Adding to their woes, Suslov is sidelined with a knee injury and will undergo surgery, potentially missing a large chunk of the season.
Possible Lineups
With Ebosse also unavailable due to fatigue, Verona manager Zanetti is expected to field a defensive trio of Oyegoke, Nuñez, and Valentini. The midfield could feature Serdar, Bernede, and Niasse, with Frese and the young Cham on the wings. Mosquera and Giovane are likely to lead the attack. There's even a question mark in goal, with Perilli potentially starting instead of Montipò.
How to Watch
The match is scheduled to kick off at 18:00 (SA time, adjust for potential time zone differences). While specific South African broadcast details might be limited in the original article, check local sports channels and streaming services for potential coverage.
