Form and Line-up Hellas Verona
Hellas Verona took points off Juventus in the previous round (1:1). However, that match did not fundamentally change anything. The team are still certain to be relegated to the Serie B, and, more importantly, their performance was a complete disaster. The goal scored by Bowie was a gift from the Juventus defence, and apart from that the hosts showed absolutely nothing. On top of that, there are more and more reports of conflict in the dressing room. Gift Orban is refusing to go onto the pitch and is just waiting for his loan spell to end.

Form and Line-up Como 1907
Como 1907 have been on a rough run lately: just one win in six matches. The worst part is that over this stretch the team’s attack has dropped off sharply. It feels as though the players under Cesc Fabregas are simply tired, and that has affected their productivity. Martin Baturina has registered only one goal contribution in these games, the same as Anastasios Douvikas and Assane Diao. The only one who continues to deliver consistently is Nico Paz, but he cannot win matches on his own.

Como 1907 have the highest possession figure (61.1%).
Como 1907 are fifth for big chances missed (54).
