Hellas Verona form and stats

Hellas Verona have collected 24 points from their Serie A home games so far after 7-3-4.

The home team returns to Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi after being equal after 90 minutes with Sassuolo (placed 12th) on their last time out; the Serie A game ended 3-3. Preceding that match was a defeat to Napoli (0-2).

Opportunity lost for Hellas Verona in the Sassuolo match as a lead 3-1 was lost and what looked like a victory ended in a draw. A goal frenzy last time out for Hellas, with a total of 6 goals in the match against Sassuolo. Fun stuff to watch! The Hellas goalkeeper Marco Silvestri was crucial in the match against Sassuolo last time out, making six saves.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Hellas have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 13 games) they have won six times, drawn five and lost two.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Hellas Verona as they are travelling to their away game against Brescia in the Serie A. That match is four days after this one.

Hellas Verona has scored 19 league goals at home this season, in 14 matches. 15 goals have been conceded.
