In the fifth round of Italy’s Serie A, Roma and Verona will face off on September 28, 2025. The home side is expected by many to claim nothing but a victory.
Our Prediction for Roma vs Verona
The capital club started last season under De Rossi, and then unsuccessfully brought in Juric. Still, Ranieri ultimately missed out on the coveted Champions League zone by just a point, finishing fifth with 69 points (Juventus had 70). In the summer, Claudio—who retired again—was replaced by Gasperini. For now, he is still rebuilding the team’s play, so setbacks like the 0-1 loss to Torino are not surprising. The derby against Lazio brought a minimal but crucial victory. In the Europa League this week, they also achieved their goal against Nice—winning 2-1 away.
The modest visitors collected 37 points last season, less than one per matchday. Still, that was enough to stay in Serie A and even secure fourteenth place. Recently, they couldn’t beat Audace Cerignola in the cup, advancing only on penalties. This week, their match against Venezia also went to a shootout after a 0-0 draw—this time, unsuccessfully. In Serie A, the best they have managed are draws. However, they were able to share the points with Juventus as well.
Dybala and company average 0.75 goals scored and concede 0.25. The visitors score 0.5 goals per game but concede 1.5 in response.
