Roma take on Hellas Verona in weekend encounter.
After three consecutive defeats and languishing near the bottom of Serie A, Hellas Verona desperately seek redemption when they face a Roma side eager to break their winless away streak at Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi on Sunday evening.
Hellas Verona
Verona, with the worst defensive record in Serie A, have conceded 22 goals in 10 games and suffered the highest number of defeats at 7. They recently endured a 1-0 defeat at Lecce on Tuesday in a bottom-table clash, leaving them in 14th place with nine points (3W, 0D, 7L), just a point above 18th-placed Venezia.
The former 1984/85 Serie A champions have lost seven of their first 10 Serie A games for the third time in club history. The team is eager to regain their winning form, picking up only two wins from five home games (WLLWL), putting coach Paolo Zanetti under pressure.
Zanetti hopes their strong home record against Roma will inspire the team. Verona have won three of their last four Serie A home games against Roma (3W, 0D, 1L), which matches their total wins from the previous 16 home encounters with the Giallorossi (3W, 6D, 7L).
The team will be without Jackson Tchatchoua and Reda Belahyane due to suspensions, and also miss Juan Manuel Cruz, Paweł Dawidowicz, Martin Frese, and Abdou Harroui through injuries. Casper Tengstedt and Tomáš Suslov are expected to lead the attack in a 3—5—2 formation.
Roma
Roma bounced back from a 5-1 thrashing by Fiorentina with a vital 1-0 victory over Torino on Thursday, ending their three-game winless run. Paulo Dybala's early goal [20'] was enough to secure the win for the Wolves.
Despite this victory, scoring remains a concern for Ivan Jurić’s side, as they average just one goal per game in Serie A. Currently placed 10th in the table, Roma have collected 13 points from their matches so far.
The Giallorossi will travel to Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi on Sunday, aiming to end a streak of eight consecutive away league games without a win, a sequence not seen since 1999-2000. With only one draw in their last 12 Serie A meetings, a shared point on Sunday seems unlikely.
Dybala will likely lead the attack in a 3-4-2-1 formation, while Alexis Saelemaekers is sidelined with an ankle injury.
