Verona vs Roma Predictions

Roma to impress as they chase fourth

Relegated Verona have struggled at the back this season and over 2.5 goals looks the best bet when they host Roma in Serie A on Sunday.

Roma are third in Serie A, 16 places and 49 points above Verona, with 22 wins, four draws and 11 defeats from their 37 games this season. The hosts are 19th with three wins, 12 draws and 22 losses.

Roma come into this game in better form than Verona. They have won six of their last eight Serie A matches and have enjoyed two successive wins over Verona. In contrast, it is now nine games since Verona last tasted victory and they have not won at home in the league for 11 matches.

The last Serie A game between these sides had under 2.5 goals, with Roma winning 2-0, but ten of the previous 12 clashes were overs and the last six times that Verona have hosted Roma have all produced over 2.5 goals.

The hosts look vulnerable at the back. Verona have been unable to keep their opponents at bay in three straight Serie A games and have failed to keep a clean sheet in 17 of their last 20. They have conceded 59 goals this season – an average of 1.59 per game from 37 matches.

A 3-0 win for Roma is an appealing correct-score bet. They have won four of their last six Serie A matches by at least a two-goal margin, and this season Verona have lost by three goals or more on five occasions.
