Ahead of today’s Hellas Verona vs Genoa predictions, we highlight the form of previous meetings, where there has been a positive outcome in only seven of the last 16 clashes. We also look at a trend that suggests Genoa will be fighting history as they bid for three points to move them out of the bottom three.
Hellas Verona vs Genoa Prediction and Betting Advice
In the last 19 meetings between Hellas Verona and Genoa, the road team has never won. That is a tremendous betting trend. However, there have been nine stalemates in the last 16 clashes, including last January’s 1-1 draw in this corresponding fixture.
Hellas Verona manager Fabio Pecchia has a major task on his hands, trying to plug a leaky defence that shipped 29 goals in 13 games. With a goal difference of minus 19, it is hard to see anything other than a winter of discontent ahead. The only bright spots have been that win over Benevento and draws at home with Sampdoria and at Crotone and Torino.
Our Serie A football tips suggest that Genoa really are not that much better, although their two victories did come away from home. That is tempered by the historic stat that says the away team never wins in this fixture. With neither side playing expansive football, the plan will simply not to be beaten, given the historical trends of Hellas Verona vs Genoa betting tips. While the Genoa-draw is tempting on the Double Chance market, the odds are too restrictive at around 1/3, so we side with Sportingbet’s draw odds, as they seem a little too generous.
Hellas Verona have been held scoreless in five of their opening 13 Serie A games and have managed to find the net twice on just three occasions – a 3-2 home defeat by Bologna, a similar road loss at Chievo, and a 2-2 draw at Torino. Genoa have failed to score in seven of their opening 13 Serie A games. They have managed to score three times in one game just once – in a 3-2 win at Cagliari. They have also scored twice in the same game on three other occasions, which were all losing efforts.
Seven of the last 11 meetings between these sides have yielded less than three goals, although both sides have scored in 13 of the last 17 meetings. It is tempting, therefore, to follow the latter trend of both teams finding the net, but given their respective troubles in front of goal, this time we can pass it up.
The latest football odds suggest this could be another low-scoring clash. One of the most intriguing Hellas Verona vs Genoa bets is to bank on a lack of goals. The odds offered by Ladbrokes in their Under 2.5 Goals market look to be on the mark.
