Como vs Verona prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2025-10-28 17:30.
[p]While not at their fluent best, Como are living up to pre-season expectations and will look to close in on the top four when they host strugglers Verona.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Como may have extended their unbeaten run to seven games across all competitions with a goalless draw at Parma last weekend (W3, D4), but a tepid attacking display cost them the chance to move level on points with the top four. Cesc FĂ bregasâ side have still been beaten just once in Serie A this term and boast the second-best defensive record in the division ahead of this round, so there are plenty of reasons to be positive for the Lariani. Dreams of European qualification will only intensify if Como can keep up their unbeaten home record in 2025/26 (W4, D2), with all four victories coming by 2+ goal margins.[/p]
[p]Veronaâs miserable start to the campaign continued as they threw away a two-goal lead and conceded a 92nd minute equaliser to draw 2-2 against Cagliari on Sunday. The Mastiffs remain one of four winless sides at the end of matchday eight (D5, L3), but starting the round outside of the relegation zone helps to relieve the pressure on boss Paolo Zanetti. Heâs unlikely to get any further respite here given that Verona have failed to even score in their last three away league matches (D1, L2), although the road is where their last league victory came on the final day of the 2024/25 season![/p]
