Hellas Verona vs Chievo Betting Tips

If there’s any interest left in Verona’s 2015/16 season, it’ll soon dissipate if they don’t manage to win matches like this one. On Saturday, they host rivals Chievo in what is getting to close to being a must-win game for the last place team. They’ve got just one win on the season and are 10 points adrift of fourth from bottom with 13 games to play.

Chievo should enter this weekend’s action with pretty good confidence levels. They snapped a three-game losing streak with an impressive 2-1 away win over Torino on February 7, then followed that result up with a 1-1 draw against Sassuolo last weekend.

Head-to-Head

Chievo has won three of the last six games between the two clubs, including winning their trip to Verona last season. The teams have drawn their past two games, the earlier fixture in 2015/16 ended 1-1.

Team News

For Verona, the biggest concerns will be the continued absence of valuable creative player Federico Viviani and centre-back Samuel Souprayen. Meanwhile, Chievo have a pretty hefty injury list, which would be impossible to list here. The biggest losses are perhaps in the goal-scoring department where second leading goal-scorer Riccardo Meggiorini is an absentee.

Reason for Betting Tips

Verona do have home field advantage, but Chievo have a history of winning games in a place that can be difficult to travel to. Overall, Chievo enter this game in great form, it feels like they are a team who have figured out how to be successful in spite of injuries and we especially like the money winning opportunity associated with 13/5 odds in this one.
