The hosts have been looking remarkable in the playoffs with hardly any mistakes lately. They conceded to Piacenza in a close battle with a score of 2:3, but took a decisive victory against Civitanova (3:0), Modena (3:0, 3:1), and Chisterna (3:0).

Still, they managed to improve in the recent matches, overcoming Chisterna (3:0) and Piacenza (3:1, 3:2).

Prediction for the match Verona - Civitanova

In their last playoff meeting, Civitanova performed poorly. I don't think anything could have significantly changed in two weeks. The odds favor Verona to win at 1.82, a decrease from the first match's odds, which hovered around 2.60. Given that they are playing at home, this is reasonable. I'll go for a simple victory for Verona at 1.86, as the hosts clearly have the upper hand for the fifth spot in the table.
