ℹ️ Team News: Hellas Verona

There aren’t many selection issues, with just the lone fitness concern for the Hellas Verona gaffer Paolo Zanetti to be concerned with due to a largely intact group of players. Abdou Harroui (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t play.

It seems likely that Hellas Verona will possibly line up in a 4-4-2 formation this time, utilising Lorenzo Montipo, Pawel Dawidowicz, Diego Coppola, Daniele Ghilardi, Jackson Tchatchoua, Suat Serdar, Cheikh Niasse, Martin Frese, Antoine Bernede, Casper Tengstedt and Amin Sarr.

ℹ️ Team News: Como

Como manager Cesc Fábregas has some current player fitness concerns. Alberto Dossena (Cruciate ligament tear), Assane Diao (Broken foot) and Sergi Roberto (Hamstring strain) are not able to play.

We believe I Lariani could decide to play in a 4-2-3-1 formation, settling for Jean Butez, Mergim Vojvoda, Edoardo Goldaniga, Marc-Oliver Kempf, Alberto Moreno, Maximo Perrone, Maxence Caqueret, Lucas Da Cunha, Nico Paz, Gabriel Strefezza and Anastasios Douvikas.

🔮 Prediction

When taking everything into account, Hellas Verona could find themselves up against it to put one past this Como team who should win and very possibly keep a clean sheet.

Our tip is therefore for a very even match with a 0-1 win for Como at full-time.
