Roma travel to the Stadio Bentegodi to take on Hellas Verona in the eleventh round of Serie A action. The match presents an opportunity for both teams to improve their positions in the league, albeit with different objectives.
Verona entes the game on the back of a narrow 1-0 defeat to Lecce, adding to their recent struggles. On the other hand, Roma secured a crucial 1-0 victory over Torino in their last outing, courtesy of a goal from Paulo Dybala. This win has provided some respite for manager Ivan Juric, whose position at the club remains precarious.
For Juric, this match marks a return to familiar territory, having managed Verona from 2019 to 2021. The Roma boss will be keen to build on the recent victory and stabilize his team’s form.
Roma aim to string together consecutive wins following their home triumph against Torino. However, they face a setback with Mario Hermoso ruled out due to a muscular issue. The defender is targeting a return for the Europa League clash against Union Saint-Gilloise. On a positive note, Artem Dovbyk has recovered from fever and is available for selection.
Verona manager Paolo Zanetti faces more significant challenges in team selection. He will be without the suspended duo of Reda Belahyane and Jackson Tchatchoua. Additionally, injuries have sidelined Pawel Dawidowicz, Martin Frese, Juan Manual Cruz, Yilan Okou, and Alessandro Berardi, further limiting his options.
Verona (4-2-3-1): Montipò; Daniliuc, Magnani, Ghilardi, Bradaric; Serdar, Duda; Suslov, Tengstedt, Lazovic; Sarr.
Roma (3-4-2-1): Svilar; Mancini, Ndicka, Angeliño; Celik, Konè, Cristante, Zalewski; Dybala, Pellegrini; Dovbyk.
