Como vs Verona Prediction 29 Sep 2024

⚽ Serie A - Round 6 Preview

📅 29 Sep 2024

⏰ 14:00 GMT +1

🏟 Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia (Como)

After a slow start to their campaign, Como finally secured their first victory since their return to Serie A with a thrilling 3-2 comeback win against Atalanta. They now aim for their first top-flight home win since May 2003. Confidence should be high as Cesc Fàbregas' side has demonstrated resilience at Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia, suffering just two losses during their Serie B campaign there (W12, D5). A positive sign for Como is their unbeaten record in six top-flight home matches against Verona (W2, D4), although both of their Serie A defeats this season have come without scoring, highlighting the importance of securing the first goal.

Verona, managed by Paolo Zanetti since the summer, currently sits one point above Como in the standings. However, they have lost three of their first five matches (W2), including their last two by narrow margins. A third consecutive defeat would mark their worst run since November 2023, which notably includes losses to newly-promoted teams. Reflecting Como's trend, both of Verona's victories this season have come with clean sheets, and they have managed to score in four of their five league games. Yet, they have yet to earn a point when conceding first this season (L3), indicating that the battle for the opening goal will be crucial.
