Match Prediction: Roma vs. Verona
Recently, the Romans have struggled to fully capitalize on their attacking potential. Claudio Ranieri's side scores regularly but not prolifically. The club's scoring streak in the league stands at 16 matches, yet in the last 11 Serie A games, they have only scored more than two goals once. In eight of these games, the Romans have managed just one goal.
Verona has improved their results and has started to pick up points even away from home against similarly ranked opponents. Against top-tier teams, Paolo Zanetti's side can also put up a fight. Verona strives to avoid major defensive lapses, and in their last ten away league matches, they have kept a clean sheet twice but have never conceded more than two goals.
I expect the hosts to break through Verona's defense, but not to score excessively. My prediction: Exact number of Roma goals: 1-2
