Hellas Verona vs Como Prediction - Serie A: Opportunity for the away team
Como aims to consolidate its position in the top group when it travels to the Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi to face Hellas Verona, a team mired in a relegation crisis.
The match between Hellas Verona and Como at 5:30 PM on May 10, 2026, in Round 36 of Serie A is crucial for both teams' goals. While the visiting team, Como, is striving to defend their 6th place position to secure a European cup spot, the home team, Hellas Verona, is facing the risk of relegation, currently sitting in 19th place.
Correlation between form and league position
Hellas Verona are having a difficult season. With only 20 points after 35 matches, they are second to last in the league table. Their recent form is worrying, with only two draws and three losses in their last five games. Verona's goal-scoring efficiency is also among the lowest in the league, averaging just 0.7 goals per game, while their defense has conceded 57 goals.
Conversely, Como is the phenomenon of Serie A this season. Ranked 6th with 62 points, the away team boasts an effective attacking style with 59 goals (an average of 1.7 goals per game). Although their form in the last 5 matches has somewhat stagnated with 1 win, 2 draws, and 2 losses, Como's away form remains impressive with 8 away wins since the start of the season.
Head-to-head history and key statistics
History is heavily in favor of the away team. In their last three encounters, Como are unbeaten with two wins and one draw. Notably, in the first leg of this season, which took place in October 2025, Como secured a convincing 3-1 victory against Hellas Verona.
| Team | Location | Point | form |
|---|---|---|---|
| Como | 6 | 62 | 1 win, 2 draws, 2 losses |
| Hellas Verona | 19 | 20 | 2 draws, 3 losses |
Team situation and tactical predictions
Hellas Verona entered this match with significant squad losses. Their injury list was extensive, including key players such as A. Bella-Kotchap, D. Mosquera, and S. Serdar. The absence of key players in both defense and midfield would make it difficult for the Verona coach to implement a counter-attacking strategy.
On the other side of the pitch, Como will also be without J. Addai due to an Achilles tendon injury and J. Ramon due to suspension. However, with a deeper squad, Como is still considered the stronger team in controlling the midfield and creating scoring opportunities.
Predict the result
Based on statistical indicators, Como has a high chance of scoring points. Predictions suggest a 45% chance of the away team securing all three points and a 45% chance of a draw. Given Verona's weak attack, they are likely to continue struggling to find the back of the net.
Forecast:Como wins or draws.
