Verona was set up on his own ground in the last duel of the championship against Pescara, score 3-1. But it was an atypical match, in which the guests had an offensive initiative, with 18 sutures at the gate (against 9 of the hosts)! Veronesians were more effective at finishing and took an important promotion option, but the two rivals will eventually play in the playoffs.

At the end of the championship, both bands had oscillating evolutions, but Pescara had direct qualifying in the playoffs semifinals, while Verona had to pass Perugia (4-1) to reach the goal mark of the stage eliminatory.

Even if the recent games of recent years have brought the show to the duel of the two, this time we expect both coaches to put high price on defensive safety. Verona has scored goals easily over the season, but Pescara is far from being a foreign strength: only one victory in the last eight championship matches! Interestingly, the white-blue players have drawn in four of the last five championship matches, and the odds for another draw on Wednesday evening are very appealing. It is worth trying a bet on a game decided in overtime.
