AS Roma vs Hellas Verona Betting Tips: Roma to Win

The decision by the Roman club’s leadership to end “The Special One’s” contract after two and a half years was triggered by a series of disappointments, including being eliminated in the Coppa Italia quarterfinals by city rivals Lazio and a painful 1-3 loss against AC Milan at San Siro in a top-tier match.

The Italian capital club, set to be helmed by Jose Mourinho’s successor, has former captain Daniele de Rossi on deck. Eager to make a powerful debut in his coaching role, de Rossi will likely make a positive impression as his first challenge is against a side threatened with relegation.

However, it’s important to remember that Roma has recently faced a tough schedule. Their last four Serie A matches were against prominent Italian football teams like Napoli, Juventus, Atalanta, and AC Milan. They managed to gain only four points out of a possible 12 in these matches, which demonstrates the difficulty of their recent schedule.

Despite recent unfavorable outcomes, the Giallorossi remain optimistic about returning to their winning streak as they head back to their home turf. They have an impressive record there, with 10 wins and only two draws in their last 12 competitive matches in front of their home fans.

Stadio Olimpico has become a real horror for Hellas Verona, having only achieved two positive outcomes in their 14 visits. They have suffered defeat 12 times, which strengthens the expectation that the recently appointed Roma manager, De Rossi, will enjoy a victorious debut this Saturday.

Despite their recent narrow 2-1 victory against fellow strugglers Empoli, the likelihood of the club from Romeo and Juliet’s city achieving consecutive wins is nearly non-existent. This is largely due to their abysmal performance on foreign grounds this season, having secured a dismal two points from their last 10 games across all tournaments.

Recent bumps in the road notwithstanding, Roma is set to bank on their outstanding home record to steer past recent difficulties. Facing Verona, whose away performances have been dismal this season, presents a golden opportunity for De Rossi’s Wolves to capture the full three points in front of their supporters.
