Despite all efforts, Verona are relegated from Serie A. In the last round, Hellas took a point off Juventus. The Turin side dominated at the Allianz Stadium from the first minutes, but the visitors scored first. Thus, the hosts' error when exiting defense led to a goal by Sammarco's players. A quick goal by Vlahović after the break seemed to salvage the situation. However, Montipò's excellent display and, at times, the misfortune of the 'bianconeri' prevented the Turin side from securing a comeback victory. In the previous round Verona also shared points. The Hellas Verona–Lecce match ended in a goalless draw. The Lecce victory in the previous round deprived Verona of even mathematical chances of salvation. Como, in the previous round, faced Napoli. The Biancoblù failed to convert a fantastic chance to go ahead in the eighth minute. This episode foreshadowed all the events of the match. No side managed to convert any of their chances. But it's worth noting that Fabregas's charges looked much better. In the previous round they comfortably beat Genoa 2-0. The first-round meeting ended with a confident 3-1 victory for Fabregas's charges. Duvikas' goal in the ninth minute put the hosts, Como, ahead at Giuseppe Sinigaglia. However, Napoli managed to respond very quickly. The second half featured two goals by the Biancoblù, which led to a very comfortable victory. In the last season, the Biancoblù earned four points in matches with Hellas Verona. The Gialloblù have lost in 11 of 17 home games. Moreover, in the last five meetings at the Marcantonio Bentegodi they scored only one goal. Fabregas's charges won six of their last ten away fixtures. In five cases, the offered bet paid off. Obviously, the Biancoblù have far greater motivation for this match. The allocation of European competition spots is not finished, and Como can hope for both the Champions League as well as less prestigious tournaments. The team has a fairly straightforward schedule, and obviously they must take maximum points from it. Verona's points will do them no good. And there's no question of Verona walking out with the door slammed. Como must secure a convincing victory.
