Verona vs. Brescia – Prediction (Serie A – 03.11.2019)

Preview and Teams Comparison.

Hellas Verona haven’t won back-to-back Serie A (SA) matches since March 2018, but they are being economical this season, with seven goals scored and eight conceded. Nine of their ten SA games have subsequently ended with under 2.5 total match goals, and four have finished 1-0 either way. Furthermore, only three of their ten SA games have seen goals at both ends. Miguel Veloso has been Verona’s first goal-scorer with both of his SA strikes. The hosts have managed six first-half clean sheets this league season, with four of those remaining goalless at the break. Such low-scoring starts mean that the first goal could be vital, with six of Verona’s nine SA games won/lost favouring the team scoring first. That was also the case in each of the four prior SA H2H fixtures to produce a winner.

Six of Verona’s ten SA games have been level at the break, with four remaining goalless. Three of Brescia’s five SA away matches have ended with a 1-0 scoreline (either way). Seven of the eight SA H2Hs to date had the same result at both half-time and full-time.

Brescia travel having lost four of their last five league outings (D1, L4). The visitors have failed to score a first-half goal in six of their nine SA games, and the same can be said about seven of the eight preceding top-flight H2Hs. Surprisingly though, Brescia have managed to open the scoring in five of their nine SA fixtures. Alfredo Donnarumma has been Brescia’s first goal-scorer in each of the three matches to see him score. It is beyond the hour mark that Brescia struggle to contain the opposition, with 42.86% of their goals conceded coming beyond that period (six of 14). Thus, scoring first hasn’t necessarily worked to Brescia’s advantage, with a return of W2, L3 after doing so.
