Recent form: D-D-W-W-L

In their last five matches, Roma has scored an average of 1.00 goals per game and secured two clean sheets. They have shown resilience and consistency, especially in their defensive setups under Claudio Ranieri. Despite key injuries, such as Paulo Dybala’s hamstring issue, Roma continues to battle for a European spot. With two wins and two draws in their last five games, they appear to be in a strong position to take on Verona.

Roma Key Players

Roma’s key players will play critical roles in this match against Verona. Leading the line is Artem Dovbyk, the team’s top scorer with 11 goals this season, whose physical presence and finishing ability make him a constant threat up front. With Paulo Dybala sidelined due to a hamstring injury, much of the creative burden falls on Lorenzo Pellegrini and Matias Soule, who will need to link up effectively to break down Verona’s defence.

Expected lineup for Roma:

• Goalkeeper: Mile Svilar
• Defenders: Zeki Celik, Gianluca Mancini, Evan N’Dicka, Angeliño
• Midfielders: Manu Koné, Leandro Paredes, Matias Soule, Lorenzo Pellegrini, Alexis Saelemaekers
• Forward: Artem Dovbyk

Individual battles to watch include Dovbyk against the central duo of Diego Coppola and Nicolás Valentini, which could be decisive.

Roma Suspensions & Injuries

AS Roma’s squad has been hampered by key injuries, which could impact their performance in the upcoming match against Verona:

Player	Injury	Expected return
Paulo Dybala	Hamstring Injury	Out for season
Saud Abdulhamid	Thigh injury	Late April 2025

Paulo Dybala’s absence due to a hamstring injury has robbed the team of some much-needed creativity and firepower. This places additional pressure on other forwards, like Artem Dovbyk, who will need to step up in the attack. Saud Abdulhamid’s thigh injury also limits defensive options, complicating Roma’s squad rotation.

Expect Roma to rely heavily on their remaining key players, with Claudio Ranieri needing to adjust his tactics to compensate for these absences.

Roma Tactics and Formation

Roma Tactical Breakdown:

• Formation: 3-4-2-1
• Key Forward: Artem Dovbyk
• Midfield Dynamic Duo: Manu Koné, Leandro Paredes
• Wing Influence: Alexis Saelemaekers and Angeliño providing width

The Giallorossi will look to dominate possession using a three-man defence of Zeki Çelik, Gianluca Mancini, and Evan N’Dicka, providing a solid base.

In midfield, the energy and tenacity of Manu Koné and Leandro Paredes will be pivotal. Out wide, Alexis Saelemaekers and Angeliño will aim to stretch Verona’s defence, creating space for attackers.

Claudio Ranieri’s side has been defensively sound with two clean sheets in their last five games. With key players like Paulo Dybala absent, playmaker Lorenzo Pellegrini and top scorer Artem Dovbyk will be crucial in unlocking Verona’s defence.

Verona Team Analysis

Verona Recent Performance DDDWL

Verona have shown a mixed bag of results in their last five matches, securing one win, three draws, and one loss. Despite struggling for goals with an average of just 0.6 goals scored per game, their defense has remained resilient with three clean sheets in this period.

Home team	Away team	Date	Competition	Result
Verona	Genoa	2025-04-13	Serie A	0-0 (Draw)
Torino	Verona	2025-04-06	Serie A	1-1 (Draw)
Verona	Parma	2025-03-31	Serie A	0-0 (Draw)
Udinese	Verona	2025-03-15	Serie A	0-1 (Win)
Verona	Bologna	2025-03-09	Serie A	1-2 (Loss)

Verona’s focus on defensive solidity is evident from their recent clean sheets. However, their attacking output has been modest, which they will need to improve to challenge Roma at the Stadio Olimpico.

Verona Key Players

Expected lineup for Verona:

• Goalkeeper: Lorenzo Montipò
• Defenders: Daniele Ghilardi, Diego Coppola, Nicolás Valentini
• Midfielders: Jackson Tchatchoua, Ondrej Duda, Pawel Dawidowicz, Antoine Bernede, Domagoj Bradaric
• Attackers: Tomas Suslov, Daniel Mosquera

Even with top scorer Casper Tengstedt sidelined, key players like Ondrej Duda in midfield and Daniel Mosquera up front will be vital.

Tomas Suslov, expected to fill in up front, must contend with Roma’s resilient defense, particularly Gianluca Mancini.

Keep an eye on Ondrej Duda and his midfield battles with Roma’s Kouadio Koné, which could heavily influence the game’s tempo.

Verona Suspensions & Injuries

Injuries could hugely impact Verona’s performance against Roma. Here’s a rundown of the current injury situation:

Player	Injury	Expected return
Abdou Harroui	Cruciate ligament injury	Out for season
Casper Tengstedt	Muscle injury	Late April 2025
Amin Sarr	Knee injury	Early May 2025

The absence of key players like Casper Tengstedt and Amin Sarr will severely restrict Verona’s attacking options. Tengstedt, their top scorer with six goals, leaves a noteworthy gap upfront, putting additional pressure on substitutes like Tomas Suslov and Daniel Mosquera to deliver.
Not to mention, Abdou Harroui’s prolonged absence due to a cruciate ligament injury further weakens their midfield and overall team structure.
These injuries will force Coach Paolo Zanetti to rethink his tactical approach as they face a determined Roma side.

Verona Tactics and Formation

Verona’s Tactical Breakdown:

• Formation: 3-5-2
• Key Forward: Daniel Mosquera (with Amin Sarr out injured)
• Midfield Engine: Ondrej Duda and Pawel Dawidowicz
• Defensive Line: Daniele Ghilardi, Diego Coppola, Nicolás Valentini
• Wing Support: Jackson Tchatchoua and Domagoj Bradaric

Verona will likely adopt a 3-5-2 formation under Coach Paolo Zanetti. With a defensive line consisting of Ghilardi, Coppola, and Valentini, their main objective will be to maintain defensive solidity against a potent Roma attack.

In midfield, Duda and Dawidowicz are pivotal in controlling the game’s tempo and providing defensive coverage. Wingers Tchatchoua and Bradaric will support both ends by delivering crosses and retracting defensively.

Without their top scorer Casper Tengstedt, much of the offensive responsibility falls to Mosquera, with Suslov stepping into a more significant role. This versatile setup aims to balance both defensive tenacity and counter-attacking threats.
