Hellas Verona predictions

Verona History

Hellas Verona are one of the oldest Italian clubs. Their humble beginnings started in 1903, when the club was founded by a bunch of high school students. The name Hellas was requested of a professor of classics (the Greek word for Greece). After playing only regional football and merging with several inner-city rivals, Hellas Verona struggled to make an impact in Campionato Nazionale, which was the Serie A predecessor. After the professional league was formed, Hellas Verona needed 28 years to finally earn their promotion to Serie A. Verona were mostly going up and down during the 1970s. It was in the 1980s that they enjoyed the most success and won their only Italian title. It was in 1984/85 season, which is one of the most surprising years in Italian football history. Verona came out of nowhere to win the title, while Juventus and Roma, the most successful Italian teams at the time, finished outside the top five. Verona played two Coppa Italia finals in the 1980s as well, but they lost both, against Napoli and Roma. After an 11-year absence, Verona regained promotion to Serie A in 2013. They managed to stay in the league but got relegated the very next year. In what became a pattern since then, Verona w time achieving promotion from Serie B and suffering instant relegation in the following year.
