In the 33rd round of the Italian Serie A, a match between Roma and Verona will take place. The encounter is set to happen in Rome on Saturday, April 19. The game is scheduled to kick off at 20:45 Central European Time. I propose a bet on the winner of this game.
Match preview
Roma remains one of the best teams in 2025 among the top 5 leagues in Europe in terms of points earned. Ranieri has managed to bring the "Wolves" back into the fight for European competitions and even for a Champions League spot.
However, Roma plays pragmatic football, focusing primarily on defense. In the last two matches against Lazio and Juventus, they had to settle for just one point, and they are currently five points behind the fourth place.
Verona has stopped losing and has drawn three times in the last four matches. Adding a victory over Udinese to this, they have secured a solid eight-point lead over the relegation zone.
Interestingly, Verona has improved its defensive play, yet it remains the weakest team in the league in this aspect, having conceded as many as 59 goals. In the last six matches, they are set to face direct competitors three times, so they are likely to avoid relegation.
Match facts
- Roma is unbeaten in 16 consecutive Serie A matches.
- Verona has conceded only one goal in the last four matches.
- Roma averages 2 goals per game when playing at home, while Verona averages 0.6 goals per game when playing away.
Probable lineups
- Roma: Svilar, Celik, Mancini, Ndicka, Angelino, Saelemaekers, Kone, Paredes, Sule, Pellegrini, Dovbyk.
- Verona: Montipo, Valentini, Coppola, Gilardi, Bradaric, Chachua, Duda, Davidowicz, Berned, Mosquera, Sarr.
H2H
Roma has not lost to Verona at home for over 35 years.
Prediction
Roma is considered the clear favorite, but the team rarely wins by more than one goal. Therefore, I suggest betting on Verona with a +1.5 goal handicap.
