Napoli striker Gonzalo Higuaín celebrates with defender Faouzi Ghoulam after scoring the winning goal against Udinese.

Winless club Hellas Verona (0-6-6, 6 points) will try to find their first victory of the season against the league's hottest team, SSC Napoli (7-1-4, 25 points), in a 2015-2016 Serie A match at their home field of Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi on November 22nd, Sunday.

It is a tough season so far for Andrea Mandorlini's squad as they were not able to win any of their first twelve games.

Their last match was another horrible loss, this time to fellow struggling club Bologna, 0-2, also at their home turf last November 7th, via ESPN.

Bologna wingers Emanuele Giaccherini and Godfred Donsah each found the goal in the first half of their encounter to bury I Gialloblu early and they were not able to score back until full time.

Meanwhile, Napoli had been undefeated in their last 11 games, with their last loss way back during the opening day of the season in August, a 1-2 setback against Sassuolo.

Gli Azzurri nipped lowly squad Udinese, 1-0, in their most recent match at the Stadio San Paolo on November 8th, as per SkySports.

It was Argentine striker Gonzalo Higuaín, the team's leading scorer, who netted the only goal in the match at the 53rd minute to give Partenopei another three points in the overall standings.

The prediction is a 4-0 blowout for Napoli. Higuaín will again lead the charge for Maurizio Sarri's side as they prevent Verona from getting that first win that they so desire.

Verona starting lineup (4-3-3 formation): Rafael; Pisano, Moras, Helander, Souprayen; Sala, Greco, Hallfredsson; Jankovic, Pazzini, Juanito

Napoli starting lineup (4-3-3 formation): Reina; Soderlund, Albiol, Koulibaly, Ghoulam; Allan, Jorginho, Hamsik; Callejon, Higuaín, Insigne
