Fabregas’ Como play with patience
Calcio Como are enjoying a strong start to the Serie A 2025/2026 season, currently sitting 6th in the table with 13 points from 8 games. The hosts are in much better form than visitors Hellas Verona, who are stuck in 17th with only 4 points in 7 games.
The teams last faced off in Serie A 2024/2025, with the game ending in a 1-1 draw in Verona. This Calcio Como vs Hellas Verona prediction considers that Como have won one and tied the other of the two meetings since then, while Verona have yet to taste victory. On Wednesday, the home advantage and recent form suggest Como should be the clear favorites here, despite being only 1.55.
Cesc Fabregas has instilled a possession-first mentality upon his team, a trait that has seen them play with a level of patience and a deliberate tempo. They can build up patiently in possession, but then suddenly switch the play, and they’re a team that will look to impose their rhythm on the match. The Calcio Como vs Hellas Verona preview highlights Fabregas' emphasis on controlling the tempo as a key factor.
Creative midfielder Lucas Da Cunha is an impressive footballer who is comfortable on the ball and has been linking up the players ahead of him nicely in these early stages. One player in particular who has thrived in 2025/2026 is Nico Paz, who is the top scorer with 4 goals and 4 assists in Serie A, top of the scoring charts after 7 matches.
Hellas Verona must find a way
Paolo Zanetti’s side are the polar opposite of Como, looking to play direct when they get the chance, but pressing high when they’re out of possession and looking to force turnover battles higher up the pitch. They will seek to cause chaos in the opposition defence and force the opposing goalkeeper into action.
Gift Orban is Verona’s top-scorer with 1 goal in 5 Serie A appearances, however, Giovane Nascimento offers a spark in the center of the field. He has 1 assist in 7 Serie A matches, but his style of play creates lots of transitions from midfield, which has been where Verona have been most dangerous of late.
The Calcio Como vs Hellas Verona prediction hinges on whether Verona can improve their attacking efficiency, since their last 3 matches saw a 2-0 defeat at AS Roma, a 1-0 home defeat to Sassuolo and a 0-0 tie at Pisa. The visitors are simply not getting the results and they will need a huge effort to get anything from Como.
Como should dominate
Calcio Como have been very good at home this season, which has given them a platform to build from. Verona are in poor form and will be hard pressed to create many chances here, while Como look like a very solid unit defensively. Under 2.5 goals at 1.7 seems very appealing, but the Calcio Como vs Hellas Verona betting tips suggest going with the favorites in the moneyline betting.
Como are a well-organized and tactical team under Fàbregas, who knows how to control the flow of the games. Verona rely on direct play and pressing, but they have to try and beat Como first, and that won’t be easy. Our Calcio Como vs Hellas Verona prediction is for Como to win at 1.55.
