Hellas Verona vs Como predictions: Como to continue momentum
Key stats
- Hellas Verona have the joint-worst defensive record this campaign – 64 goals conceded.
- The Gialloblu have won just one of their last 12 home Serie A games (D4, L7).
- Como are unbeaten in seven games on the trot.
- The Biancoblu have won six straight, scoring 12 goals in the process.
Correct score prediction: Hellas Verona 0-2 Como
By beating Cagliari, Como became only the second team in top-flight history to win six successive matches. Riding high on that momentum, expect Como to take full advantage of a Hellas Verona side winless in seven games (D4, L3). While the hosts need a point at the least, their misfiring attack have netted just one goal in their last five matches. In contrast, Como have scored nine goals in as many matches. Expect the lakeside club to return home with a victory.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Como are bookies’ favourites
- HOME: 12/5 (3.40) – 29.4%

*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Paolo Zanetti saw his side halt a run of two defeats with a draw against Lecce, but are poised to get back to losing ways, according to bookmakers. Odds of 12/5 (3.40), suggesting a win probability of 29.4%, hang over the Mastiffs’ head.
Meanwhile, Como are well-priced to register their first-ever top-flight double over Hellas Verona. Backed by a 46.5% probability of victory, Como could cement their place inside the top half of the table.
