Latest AS Roma vs Hellas Verona team information
Roma will be without key star Paulo Dybala for the rest of the season. Coach Claudio Ranieri also has a number of other injury headaches: captain Lorenzo Pellegrini suffered a shoulder injury after the derby, Saud Abdulhamid has not recovered from a thigh injury, and centre-back Victor Nelsson is training separately with a foot injury.
In that context, main striker Artem Dovbyk – Serie A Player of the Month for March – will continue to lead the attack, supported by Matias Soule – a young talent who just scored against Lazio and scored twice against Verona.
For Verona, Casper Tengstedt, Amin Sarr and Abdou Harroui are absent due to injury. However, Tomas Suslov and Cheikh Niasse are likely to return to the starting lineup. With both Sarr and Tengstedt (6 goals) absent, Daniel Mosquera will be the one to carry the attack, alongside "conductor" Suslov.
Latest expected lineup for AS Roma vs Hellas Verona
Roma:
Svilar; Celik, Mancini, Ndicka; Saelemaekers, Kone, Paredes, Angelino; Soule, Baldanzi; Dovbyk
Hellas Verona:
Montipo; Ghilardi, Coppola, Valentini; Tchatchoua, Duda, Dawidowicz, Bernede, Bradaric; Suslov; Mosquera
Latest football commentary on AS Roma vs Hellas Verona
Last weekend, Roma had a dramatic Derby della Capitale match with Lazio – a match that directly affected the race for the top 4 in Serie A. Despite falling behind, the Giallorossi still won back a valuable point thanks to a beautiful long-range shot from Matias Soule, thereby keeping the gap to Lazio – the team ranked 6th – only 2 points.
Roma have scored nine goals from outside the box in Serie A this season, including Soule’s superb strike in the derby. Since Claudio Ranieri returned to the coaching chair, the capital club have been resurgent, scoring regularly and yet to lose a domestic game – winning 11 and drawing five of their last 16 games.
Despite being eliminated from the Europa League and Coppa Italia, Roma are still in contention for a Champions League spot next season. Ranieri, who will move into a director role next season, has the chance to equal Luciano Spalletti's 17-game unbeaten run in Serie A in 2016. Roma have dropped just four points in their last nine games at the Stadio Olimpico and are confident of extending their unbeaten run.
On the other hand, Verona have never beaten Roma in their last 27 trips to the capital – losing 21 of those. However, they did beat Roma 3-2 in the first leg in November and have won four of their last nine meetings – as many as they had in their previous 46.
Under manager Paolo Zanetti, Verona have improved significantly since the winter. They are now eight points above the relegation zone, and a run of three draws has helped the team maintain stability. In their most recent game, they held Genoa to a 0-0 draw, and remarkably, Verona’s last four away first halves have all ended 0-0 – showing that the defence has become much more disciplined.
Despite Verona conceding the most goals in Serie A this season, goalkeeper Lorenzo Montipò has kept eight clean sheets – equalling his personal record. But standing firm against Roma at the Olimpico will be a daunting task.
