Hellas Verona vs Como Betting Tips, Preview & Predictions | Serie A 10 May 2026

Hellas Verona welcome Como to the Stadio Marc’Antonio Bentegodi on Sunday, 10 May 2026, for what promises to be a fascinating Serie A encounter. Kick-off is scheduled for 11:30 BST as the home side look to salvage pride in a difficult campaign while the visitors aim to cement their place in the top half of the table.

Predictions

Hellas Verona Team News

Hellas Verona find themselves in a precarious position as the season draws to a close, sitting second from bottom with only 20 points from 35 matches. Manager Paolo Sammarco has overseen a deeply disappointing campaign that has seen the club win just three matches all season, with a mere 9% win rate that simply hasn’t been good enough at this level.

The Gialloblu have struggled in all areas of the pitch, scoring just 24 goals while conceding 57 at the other end. Their goal difference of -33 is one of the worst in the division, and their home form at the Bentegodi has failed to provide the fortress that supporters would have hoped for.

In attack, Gift Orban and Amin Sarr have been tasked with providing the firepower, but neither has been able to find consistent form. The midfield duo of Sandi Lovrić and Suat Serdar will need to stamp their authority on this match if Verona are to have any chance of upsetting their more illustrious opponents.

The defensive unit, marshalled by players like Pol Lirola and Domagoj Bradarić, has been porous all season. With 57 goals conceded, they’ve leaked far too many chances, and they’ll need to be at their absolute best to contain a Como side that has been one of the surprise packages of this Serie A campaign.

Sammarco will be hoping that his side can put in a performance that gives the home fans something to cheer about, even if the reality is that their fate may already be sealed. A win here would be a massive boost, but the odds are heavily stacked against them.

Como Team News

Como have been the revelation of the Serie A season, defying pre-season expectations to sit in 6th place with 62 points from 35 matches. Under the guidance of manager Cesc Fàbregas, the Lombardy club have played some attractive football and have been rewarded with a position that could see them qualify for European competition.

The visitors have been solid at the back, conceding just 28 goals, while their attack has been potent enough to secure 17 victories. With a goal difference of +31, they’ve shown they can both score goals and keep things tight when necessary.

Up front, Álvaro Morata provides the focal point of the attack, with the experienced Spanish striker bringing quality and composure in front of goal. He’s supported by the likes of Nico Paz, the Argentine midfielder on loan from Real Madrid, who has been instrumental in creating chances from midfield.

The midfield engine room features the likes of Maxence Caqueret and Sergi Roberto, both of whom bring Serie A experience and technical quality. At the back, Diego Carlos and Marc Oliver Kempf have formed a solid partnership, while Jean Butez has been reliable between the posts.

Fàbregas has instilled a winning mentality in this squad, and they’ll fancy their chances of picking up all three points against a Verona side that has been struggling all season. The former Arsenal and Barcelona midfielder has shown he’s more than capable of managing at this level.

Head-to-Head

The recent head-to-head record between these two sides heavily favours Como. In their three most recent meetings in Serie A, Como have emerged victorious twice, with one match ending in a draw. Hellas Verona are yet to record a win against Como in this fixture.

The reverse fixture earlier this season saw Como secure a comfortable 3-1 victory at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia, with the visitors showing their superiority on the day. That result was typical of how these two teams have fared this season, with Como looking the more organised and cohesive unit.

The last time these sides met at the Bentegodi, back in May 2025, the match ended in a 1-1 draw. However, given the respective trajectories of both clubs since then, Como will be confident of improving on that result this time around.

The aggregate score across their three meetings stands at 7-4 in favour of Como, underlining their dominance in this particular matchup. Verona will need to produce something special to turn that record around.

Serie A Standings Context

The table tells the story of two clubs heading in opposite directions. Como have been one of the success stories of this Serie A season, sitting pretty in 6th place with 62 points. They’re just three points behind Juventus in 4th and could yet challenge for a Champions League spot.

Hellas Verona, on the other hand, are languishing in 19th position with just 20 points. They’ve won only three matches all season and have been firmly rooted in the relegation zone for much of the campaign. With only three matches remaining after this one, time is running out for them to mount any kind of miraculous escape.

The gulf in class between these two sides is stark. Como have 42 more points than their opponents and have been far more consistent throughout the season. While Verona have been shipping goals and struggling to find the net, Como have been competitive against virtually every opponent they’ve faced.

For Como, this represents an opportunity to keep pace with the teams above them and potentially finish in a European qualification spot. For Verona, it’s simply about playing for pride and trying to give their supporters something positive to take away from what has been a thoroughly miserable campaign.

Odds Comparison

Betting Tips Summary

All the evidence points towards an away victory here. Como have been one of the stories of the Serie A season and have shown remarkable consistency under Cesc Fàbregas. Hellas Verona, by contrast, have been struggling from the opening weekend and have shown little sign of being able to turn things around.

The odds reflect this disparity, with Como priced as strong favourites at around 2/5. While these odds don’t offer huge returns, they do reflect the reality of this fixture. For those looking for more value, the BTTS No market at 4/6 with bet365 looks attractive given Verona’s struggles in front of goal.

Como to win to nil could be an interesting alternative for punters seeking bigger returns. The visitors have kept things tight defensively all season and will fancy their chances of shutting out a Verona attack that has managed just 24 goals in 35 matches.

The Asian handicap markets may also be worth exploring, with Como -1 available at appealing odds. Given the gulf in quality between these two sides, a two-goal margin of victory for the visitors wouldn’t be a surprise.

Conclusion

This fixture pits two sides at opposite ends of the spectrum against each other. Como have exceeded all expectations this season and will be looking to finish strongly with European qualification still a possibility. Hellas Verona have been deeply disappointing and look destined for relegation barring a minor miracle.

The Stadio Marc’Antonio Bentegodi is unlikely to provide much of a fortress for the home side on this occasion. Como’s quality in midfield and the experience of players like Morata and Sergi Roberto should see them control proceedings and pick up a comfortable victory.

We’re backing Como to win this one and continue their excellent form. The visitors have simply been on another level compared to Verona this season, and there’s little reason to expect that to change on Sunday afternoon.
