Roma will entertain Verona at Stadio Olimpico in Serie A on Saturday. The capital club are seventh in the league table with 54 points, five fewer than fourth-placed Juventus. The visitors have won nine of their 32 league games and are 14th in the standings.
The hosts extended their unbeaten streak in Serie A to 16 games last week as they were held to a 1-1 draw against local rivals Lazio. It was a close game, and after a goalless first half, Alessio Romagnoli gave Lazio the lead in the 47th minute, and Matías Soulé equalized in the 69th minute.
The Mastini are unbeaten in their last four league outings, playing out three consecutive draws. After a 1-1 away draw against Torino earlier this month, they were held to a goalless draw at home by Genoa last week.
The Giallorossi are unbeaten in Serie A since December, winning 11 of the 16 games. Notably, they have scored one goal apiece in their last five league games. They are unbeaten at home in this fixture since 1973 and are strong favorites.
Victor Nelsson has a foot injury and is not an option for this match. Claudio Ranieri will also be without the services of Paulo Dybala, while Saud Abdulhamid faces a late fitness test.
The Gialloblù have played three consecutive draws and will look to return to winning ways. They have won two of their seven away games in 2025, failing to score in three. They have lost five of their last six away meetings against the capital club.
Casper Tengstedt is a confirmed absentee for the visitors. Amin Sarr picked up a knock last week and faces a late fitness test. Cheikh Niasse and Tomáš Suslov are fit enough to start from the bench.
The capital club have an impressive home record in this fixture and considering their current form, we back them to register a comfortable win.
