Prediction Hellas Verona vs Venezia 2025/2026 season – Betting Tips for the Coppa Italia on 24/09/2025

Match context and mood in Verona

The Coppa Italia second-round clash at Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi on 24 September pits Hellas Verona against nearby rivals Venezia in what promises to be a compact, tense cup tie. Verona arrive with several recent draws in the league, grinding out results against stern opposition — a 1-1 home draw with Juventus and a string of low-scoring stalemates underline a side that is difficult to break down at the moment. The crowd at Bentegodi, capable of filling 39,045, will expect a performance that builds on those scrappy but resilient displays, and the bookmakers reflect that faith by making Hellas Verona the slight favourites ahead of this cup fixture.

Form patterns and tactical clues

Hellas Verona’s recent results reveal a team that leans toward containment and consistency rather than free-scoring brilliance. Their sequence of draws and a single win in the last matches shows defensive solidity but also an inability to convert dominance into decisive victories. Statistically, Verona’s attacking output in the sample provided is modest — 14 total shots with five on target — and their home goal returns are low in the available snapshot. That suggests a cautious approach under pressure, one that could frustrate an opponent who needs to find a cutting edge.

Venezia, by contrast, arrives with a more fluctuating rhythm. A heavy 4-0 win earlier in the window and a recent 2-1 triumph point to offensive potential; their averages—28 shots and 11 on target—indicate a team prepared to attempt more in the final third. Yet inconsistency is the theme for Venezia too, with a 1-2 home loss to Cesena fresh in the memory. Their cup ambitions will hinge on whether they can translate that shot volume into clinical finishing away at a compact Verona.

Key recent moments and head-to-head note

The nearest meeting between these sides ended 1-1 in Serie A earlier in the year, showing how close contests between them typically are. Individual match notes also give flavour: Verona’s last league outing saw Gift Orban shine as the best-rated player, while Venezia’s recent loss to Cesena featured John Yeboah as his side’s top performer despite the defeat. Those snippets underline how fine margins and individual moments can decide a cup knockout encounter.

Betting suggestion

Taking the full picture into account — home advantage, Verona’s recent string of hard-fought draws, and the bookmakers’ lean — the strongest single-market pick is a 1X2 wager on Hellas Verona to win. The odds on the home side (around 1.91) reflect a realistic chance of progression for a team that defends resolutely at Bentegodi and will be motivated to avoid an upset in a domestic cup tie.
