Como vs. Verona: Match Prediction
Cesc Fabregas's side feels confident at home and often achieves positive results, but Como cannot boast high scoring. In the last ten home Serie A matches, the team managed to score more than one goal only in three games. Meanwhile, the club is relatively solid defensively: in 10 of their last 11 home league matches, Como allowed opponents to score a maximum of one goal.
Verona struggles significantly in attack, especially in away games. In the last 14 away Serie A fixtures, the team scored more than one goal only once, and in eight of those matches, Verona failed to score at all. At the same time, the club rarely falters defensively: in 10 of their last 13 away league games, Verona conceded a maximum of one goal.
I do not expect a high-scoring game in this encounter, so my prediction: Total under 2.5 goals
