Round 23 of the 2022-23 Italian Serie A goes on Sunday, February 19, with five games on the schedule, so we are breaking down the AS Roma vs. Verona clash from Stadio Olimpico in Rome.     

AS Roma – Verona Betting Tip, Prediction & Odds (19.2.2023)

Verona head to Stadio Olimpico hoping to extend their good run of form. The Mastiffs are fighting against relegation, and a positive result in a tough road matchup against the Giallorossi would be huge. 

AS Roma vs. Verona: Initial Situation 

Verona occupy the 18th spot in Serie A with 17 points (W4, D5, L13) and a 20:33 goal difference, sitting a couple of points below a safe zone. AS Roma, on the other side, are fourth with 41 points (W12, D5, L5) and a 29:19 goal difference. They are ahead of AC Milan thanks to a better goal difference, while the sixth-placed Lazio are only two points behind. 

AS Roma Stats & Form

The Giallorossi are coming off a disappointing 1-0 road loss against Salzburg in the UEFA Europa League. Last weekend, they drew 1-1 versus Lecce on the road in Serie A, and the Giallorossi have only won one of their previous five games in all competitions along with three losses. At least, AS Roma have won three consecutive home contests in Serie A. 

The 29-year-old forward Paulo Dybala has been AS Roma’s best player this season. He’s accounted for 11 goals and seven assists in 21 appearances in all competitions, though Dybala has scored just once in his last six games. Striker Tammy Abraham has seven goals and five assists on his account, while midfielder Lorenzo Pellegrini has notched five goals and eight dishes through 26 appearances.

Verona Stats & Form

The Mastiffs are undefeated in four straight league games. During that stretch, Verona have drawn against Lazio 1-1 and Udinese 1-1 while beating Lecce 2-0 and Salernitana 1-0. The Mastiffs are the worst road team in Serie A with four draws, six losses, and a 6:15 goal difference in ten outings. 

Midfielder Darko Lazovic is the team’s leading scorer with three goals which tells a lot about Verona’s front line. Lazovic is also the best assist-maker with five dishes, while left-back Josh Doig has recorded four assists so far this season. Verona cannot count on striker Thomas Henry, who’s scored just a couple of goals in 17 appearances in 2022-23.

AS Roma – Verona: Head-to-Head

AS Roma defeated Verona 3-1 on the road in their first meeting of the season back in October. Pawel Dawidowicz broke the deadlock to give Verona a first-half lead, but he also got a red card which helped AS Roma to overcome an early deficit. Both AS Roma and Verona have emerged victorious twice over their previous five encounters. 

AS Roma – Verona Odds

The hosts are firm favorites to come out on top. They are one of the best defensive teams in Serie A, and Verona have struggled to score for most of the season, especially on the road. Hereof, the Under 2.5 Goals sits at 1.67 odds on bet365 Sportsbook, and Both Teams to Score YES pays 2.18 on Unibet Sportsbook. 

 

Betting tip and prediction: AS Roma – Verona (19.2.2023)

Under Jose Mourinho, AS Roma have been playing solid defense, and Verona will have a mountain to climb in this game. I’ve mentioned the Mastiffs’ attacking struggles, so give me the hosts to win at 1.60 on bet365. The odds are not attractive, but I don’t trust Mourinho’s team to win by a bigger margin. As Roma haven’t conceded in three straight outings at home while scoring five goals in return.
