Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Stadio Olimpico will be the centre of attention when AS Roma and Verona go head to head in the Serie A round 5. The Romans quickly bounced back from a 1-0 loss to Torino, with the team beating Lazio 1-0 in the Rome derby, but they do not want to stop now. New boss Gian Piero Gasperini is doing a good job with the Giallorossi and a win over Verona will see them stay in the Champions League berth. Paulo Dybala remains in the recovery room alongside Leon Bailey, while Wesley should be fit for Sunday’s clash.
The Mastini, on the other hand, are seen as one of the main candidates for relegation and given their negative record at Stadio Olimpico, home win should be considered. You should know that Roma have defeated Verona in six of the previous seven meetings between the two sides in the Italian capital. There are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team.
Highlighted Team (AS Roma):
AS Roma is a professional football club based in Rome. Roma were founded by a merger in 1927 and they play in the Italian Serie A. Roma’s fiercest rivals are Lazio and it has to be noted that both capital clubs play their home games at Stadio Olimpico. The two local rivals face each other in the Derby della Capitale, which is considered one of the most exciting derbies in the world of football.
The Giallorossi (The Yellow and Reds) have won three Serie A titles (1941/1942, 1982/1983, 2000/2001), while winning nine Coppa Italia trophies. The colour of Roma’s shirts is imperial purple with a golden yellow trim. A number of top-class footballers were part of Roma in the past, but Francesco Totti is undisputedly the club’s biggest legend.The Prince of Rom made his 601 appearances for Roma on 14 May, 2016 when the Giallorossi recorded a 3-1 win over Milan at Stadio San Siro.
