Hellas Verona form and stats

Still no away game victory in the Serie A for Hellas Verona with 1 draw and 1 loss from their first 2 attempts.

It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Salernitana (placed 20th) in their previous outing. The Serie A match ended in a draw 2-2. It looked so good for Hellas vs Salernitana, but the job was not completed and victory was lost as a 2-0 lead was turned into a 2-2 draw. The attacker Nikola Kalinić got a match rating of 8.43 in that game. Kalinić scored two goals, hit the woodwork once and hit one key pass.

That result followed a home victory 3-2 versus Roma.

2 goals so far away for Hellas Verona, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 3. All from 2 league matches away.

Head 2 Head

Head to head numbers (for the previous ten meetings): Genoa won five games, four matches ended with a draw and Hellas Verona managed one win. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: six / four
