Verona vs Como Prediction
📢 Can Como defeat Verona in the 36th round of Serie A? The "Mastiffs" have already lost their chances of staying in the top flight and are essentially playing out the rest of the season without significant motivation. The situation is quite different for the "Larians," who are fiercely battling for a Champions League spot and absolutely need to secure three points against the underdogs. However, it won't be a walk in the park: the match will take place at the "Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi," where even a Verona side with nothing to play for might try to make a statement in front of their fans.
Head-to-Head
📊 The head-to-head history between Verona and Como in recent years is quite limited: the teams have faced each other just four times, with the Mastiffs claiming one victory, one match ending in a draw, and the Larians coming out on top twice. In the first round of the current season, Como unsurprisingly encountered little trouble and secured a 3-1 win, though Verona posed significant threats on the counterattack at times.
H2H Stats Matches and Previous Teams Results
Hellas Verona Team Overview
🔵 Verona last played in Serie B during the 2018/19 season, and now the team faces relegation to Italy's second tier once again. This campaign has seen the Mastiffs woefully unprepared; after 35 matches, they've accumulated just 20 points, sitting firmly in second-to-last place. With a 12-point gap from the safety of 17th place, their chances of staying in the top flight are non-existent.
🟡 Despite lacking any real motivation in the standings, Verona managed to surprise the football world with their result against Juventus (1-1) in the last round. Heading to Turin as clear underdogs, many anticipated a straightforward win for the hosts. However, the Mastiffs threw a wrench in the works for Juventus, who are vying for a Champions League spot. Admittedly, Verona had a stroke of luck; the Turin side completely dominated the game, created numerous chances, and posted an xG of 2.87, yet the ball stubbornly refused to find the net.

Como 1907 Team Overview
🔵 Como are having an impressive season, but to truly cap it off, they need to finish in the top four of the championship. After 35 rounds, the Larians sit in sixth place with 62 points. They trail the coveted fourth spot by just three points, so while the situation is manageable, not everything is within Cesc Fabregas's team's control.
⚪ In the last round, Como had a great opportunity to close the gap on Juventus, who were held to a draw against Verona and remain in fourth place. However, Como faced a formidable opponent in Napoli, who are second in the standings. Despite this, Como delivered a strong performance, looking sharper than their opponents and outperforming them on xG (1.26 to 0.68). Yet, they couldn't capitalize on their chances, and the match ended in a 0-0 draw.

Latest news
Hellas Verona
🚫 The hosts are dealing with a significant injury list: Cheikh Niasse is doubtful, while Armel Bella-Kotchap and Daniel Oyegoke are definitely sidelined due to injuries. Additionally, Suat Serdar and Daniel Mosquera will not be able to contribute as they are out for the season.
📌 In terms of impact, Bella-Kotchap's absence is the most concerning, as he has been a key defender this season. However, it's important to note that in 2026, he has already missed several games due to injuries, so Verona have grown accustomed to playing without him. The other absences do not seem as critical.
Como 1907
🚫 The visitors face minimal squad issues: Jacobo Ramon will miss the match due to suspension, while Jayden Addai is sidelined with an injury.
📌 Ramon is the team's first-choice central defender, but Como have options to replace him without a significant drop in quality. Kempf and Diego Carlos can comfortably slot into the heart of the defense, so the absence of the Spaniard shouldn't be catastrophic.
⚽ Goal Prediction
Como desperately need points to stay in the race for a Champions League spot. From the very first whistle, the "Larians" should push forward and assert their status as clear favorites. Notably, the team has scored in the first half in 9 out of their last 10 away matches. Therefore, we back Como to score before halftime with odds of 1.60*.
🚩 Corner Prediction
This season, matches involving Como frequently fail to surpass even the standard nine-corner mark. This trend continues in their recent games: under 8.5 corners has occurred in 8 of Como's last 9 Serie A matches. You can bet on this outcome at odds of 1.90*.
*Odds are approximate and may vary across different bookmakers.
Editorial Prediction
According to the bookmakers, Como are expected to secure three points with ease, and we agree with this assessment. The "Larians" desperately need a victory as they continue their push for a top-four finish and cannot afford to drop points against one of the league's weakest opponents. Furthermore, Cesc Fabregas' side must avoid underestimating their rivals: Juventus' recent slip-up against Verona, a team already relegated, serves as a reminder that complacency can lead to an upset and derail the favorites' plans. Therefore, our main bet is on Como to win with a -1 handicap. We anticipate a 2-0 scoreline on the board.
