At the Stadio Bentegodi in Verona, an intriguing Serie B showdown awaits as already-relegated Hellas Verona plays host to Como in a match that could mark a historic turning point for the visiting side. For Como, a victory would not only secure a spot in European competition but also keep their faint Champions League dreams alive—a remarkable achievement for a club that has been steadily climbing the ranks.
This lunchtime fixture, part of the 36th round of the season, pits two contrasting narratives against each other: Hellas, playing for pride after a disappointing campaign, and Como, riding a wave of momentum under the guidance of former midfield maestro Cesc Fabregas. The stakes couldn't be higher for the Lariani, who are chasing a place among Europe's elite.
Here are the confirmed starting lineups as coaches Sammarco and Fabregas finalize their strategies for this crucial encounter:
VERONA (3-5-2): Montipò; Edmundsson, Nelsson, Valentini; Belghali, Akpa Akpro, Gagliardini, Bernede, Frese; Suslov, Bowie. Coach: Sammarco
COMO (4-2-3-1): Butez; Vojvoda, D. Carlos, Kempf, Valle; da Cunha, Perrone; Diao, Nico Paz, Rodriguez; Douvikas. Coach: Fabregas
Key players to watch include Verona's Suslov, who has shown flashes of creativity in a tough season, and Como's Diao and Perrone, whose midfield energy could be decisive.
