VERONA vs AS ROMA – PREMIUM PICK
ITALY SERIE A
Despite just avoiding relegation last season, the owners of Verona cashed in over €40 million on player trades. For the record, the likes of Ivan Ilic (€15.7M), Giovanni Simeone (€12M), Gialuluca Caprari (€7.5M) and Matteo Cancellieri (€7.5M) were sold for good money.
However, only a small portion of that income was invested in Ondrej Duda (€2.7M) and Yayah Kallon (€2.8M). In fact, while new manager Marco Baroni was able to change a large part of the Mastifs squad, most newcomers arrived on a one-year loan!
On a more upbeat note, the hosts did at least win (0-1) the season opener in Empoli. In that match, Salernitana loanee Federico Bonazzoli was bought on at 69 minutes, and he only needed another 7 minutes to score.
For the most part, Verona rode their luck against Empoli, and according to the match stats they got lucky with the three points. Nevertheless, a win is a win, and for today’s match, the hosts get back skipper Marco Faraoni and defender Isak Hien from suspension. Meanwhile, Darko Lazovic, Thomas Henry, and Jayden Braaf will still be sidelined with injuries.
ROMA NEAR TO COMPLETE
AS Roma ended the last season in 6th place, and that was good enough to secure a place in the Europa League. Incidentally, Jose Mourinho’s team was beaten in the final of last season’s competition by Sevilla!
If we go back to this fixture last season, the visitors won 1-3. In that match, a 36th-minute red card for Dawidowic was the turning point!
Mourinho’s men could only draw their season opener against Salernitana, and they must have been disappointed with the result. After all, the Giallarossi had the better of play, and conceding two soft goals must have been hard to take!
As for team news, Renato Sanches was injured in this week’s training. He’s out along with Tammy Abraham, but on a positive note, other players are returning. Above all, Roma will welcome the return of star men Paulo Dybala and captain Lorenzo Pellegrini.
With all due respect to the hosts, they are going to be relegation candidates. On the other hand, AS Roma is showing more ambition this season, and they will be fully pumped for today’s challenge.
In conclusion, we took the 1.89 about AS Roma because in our book truer odds would be 1.70!
