Verona welcome the visitors Brescia in the Italian Serie B – Round 31. The match will be held on Tuesday, April, 2nd, at the Stadio Marc’Antonio Bentegodi (Verona).
The hosting Verona, who relegated from the Serie A last year, look to be back there again. They can do so through playoffs as a minimum. The team are currently placed 4th in the standings, but they are keen on finding themselves 2nd at least – now the gap presents 4 points. That said, in the last 2 fixtures, Verona dropped points, as they drawed against the 12th Ascoli and the 13th Cremonese. Overall, the hosts registered 11 stalemates in 29 rounds, that is, nearly every third match ended level.

The visiting Brescia lead the table, but they run only 6 points ahead of the 4th Verona and 2 points above the pursuers Lecce. In the last 2 rounds, the toppers attained wins, but they lost to the 8th Cittadella before. In the home match against Verona, they finished victors, 4:2.
By the end of the campaign, Verona are to hold 7 rounds and Brescia – 8. One side need to secure their placement, the other need to improve it. So, much will depend on whether the guests aim at 3 points or are fine with 1. The latter option looks more logical. Brescia face strong opponents who themselves look to attain 3 points, thus, they will probably defend first. Brescia know how to do it in outings – of 13 away matches, they lost only 1. Furthermore, same as their hosts, they drawed 11 times. 8 of those stalemates were registered on the road. Verona also understand that 1 point is not as good as 3, but it is better than nothing; accordingly, they will be extremely cautious in the defense, as there will be toppers on the other half. Brescia are league leaders by the number of goals scored (58), and they are known by their counterattacks – it must be challenging for the hosts to playback afterwards. Hence, the coming match is expected to see both sides try to stop their opponents’ attacking attempts; no one will rush forward, which will probably end in another, yet 12th, draw in either team’s tally. 4 of the sides’ 12 previous head-to-heads did not define winners, by the way.
Prediction for the match: Draw.
