Verona vs Como Predictions

Como can claim another road win

Como are the best bet to win at Verona on Sunday. The hosts have left their supporters disappointed this season, while Como are on a run of three straight successes away from home.

They are five places above Verona in the table, with a 15-point gap between the two teams. However, both have lost more games than they’ve won this season. Como sit tenth with 13 wins and 14 defeats, while Verona are 15th with nine wins and 21 losses.

Como maintained their winning run with a 3-1 victory over Cagliari, and the result means they have now won five of the seven matches in which they have been odds-on this season. Como were 8/11 to win the game and comfortably obliged for favourite backers.

Their defence has been in excellent form, with the visitors keeping four clean sheets in their last five Serie A games.

Como have now been winners on four of their last six Serie A away days and can have more road success.

Verona have been disappointing up front, failing to score in five of their last seven matches and managing just 14 goals in 18 home games this season. In contrast, Como have scored in 18 of their last 19 league games.

Como are solid favourites. They have won their last six Serie A games as favourites, and backing them in this situation would have resulted in a 2.38-unit profit, with nine wins from 15 such games.

The hosts’ recent form has been disappointing, with three defeats in Verona’s last four Serie A games.

Como to win 2-0 looks like a decent correct-score bet. Sixteen of Verona’s last 20 Serie A matches have produced under 2.5 goals, and it could be a low-scoring game, with Como edging it.
