Verona garnered points after two defeats. In the last round, Hellas faced Pisa away. The "Mastiffs" started the match actively and created several quality attacks in the first minutes. The team had a real chance to score towards the end of the first half but failed to capitalise on it. The "Gialloblu" continued to apply pressure on the opponent's goal in the second half as well. Overall, Paolo Zanetti's side took 15 shots at Schemper's goal, but none were on target. The hosts also couldn't find the net and did not have many chances either. In the previous round, Verona hosted Sassuolo. Interestingly, the match followed a similar script to the one described above. Verona attacked, had opportunities, but could not convert them. Unfortunately for Hellas, it was the "Neroverdi" who took advantage of their moment. Prior to that, the "Mastiffs" lost to Roma 2-0 and drew with Juventus in a high-scoring match. After seven rounds, the team sits in 17th place.

Cagliari lost to Bologna in the last round without much chance. The "Felsinei" scored once in each half and took their three points. In the previous round, away, the "Islanders" played to a 1-1 draw with Udinese. Borelli's goal was answered by a strike from Kabasel for the hosts. Before that, they lost 2-0 to Inter. After seven rounds, the team is in 13th place with eight points to their name.

It's important to note some statistical metrics of the teams. Verona has the highest underperformance in goals in the league. According to the xG metric, Hellas should have scored 5.88 goals more. It is also worth mentioning that in seven matches, the "Mastiffs" conceded nine times. However, the team only failed to retrieve the ball from their own net at the "Marc'Antonio Bentegodi" in one game. Cagliari has an underperformance of nearly two goals according to xG, but also holds a record underperformance in xGA. According to this metric, the "Islanders" should have conceded an additional 6.07 goals. Interestingly, the only away match where the "Rossoblu" did not conclude without a goal exchange was against Napoli. Verona has not scored for three rounds, and this streak, obviously, must come to an end. But will the "Gialloblu" be able to keep their goal intact? Unlikely.
