Bookmaker Ratings prediction two: Roma -0.5 Goals Handicap – 1.85
Bookmaker Ratings prediction three: Anytime Correct Score 1-0 – 1.63
Roma Win or Draw and Over 1.5 Goals
Roma are undefeated in four games despite drawing their last two and that makes them favorites to win with the bookies. The last five meetings between Roma and Verona saw over 2.5 goals. Also, Roma’s five of their last seven home games and Verona’s all but two away games this season saw over 1.5 goals.
Roma -0.5 Goals Handicap
In all of their games against teams ranked lower than them, Roma have not lost at the Olimpico. Hence, the Giallorossi covered the -0.5 handicap in seven of those home games. According to statistics, there is a 54% chance for a home win.
Anytime Correct Score 1-0
In 25 games this season, Roma scored first in 15 of them. While playing at home, the Gialorossi took the lead with 1-0 nine out of 13 times. Even during the last meeting in Verona, Roma took a 1-0 lead. Thus we will back Roma to have the lead in this game.

Preliminary review and match prediction for AS Roma vs Verona
Jose Mourinho was not satisfied with his team’s performance on Sunday as his team salvaged a last-ditch draw. To point out, Cristante’s equalizer in the 94th minute made sure Roma stay in contention for a top-four finish.
Now as the Giallorossi host Verona, they need to keep their undefeated streak against a team they lost in two of their last three h2hs. The positive for Mourinho is his team’s defensive performance at home as they conceded once in the last three matches since the 3-4 loss to Juventus.
However, offensively Roma are having a hard time scoring at the Olimpico. Comparatively, the Giallorossi have an average of 1.31 goals scored at home while they average 2.08 on the road.
Verona were bounced back quickly from their defeat in Turin by Juventus and thrashed Udinese 4-0 in the previous round. That was the Gialloblus fourth win in six outings and they now are
six points away from a spot that qualifies for Europe.
Moreover, apart from that loss to Juventus, Verona won three of their last five trips. With three wins over three top seven teams this season including Roma, the Gialloblu are a tough team to beat when playing on the road.
AS Roma vs Verona Prediction
Roma are not having impressive performances lately. Apart from their 4-2 away win in Empoli, Mourinho’s men are having a hard time securing points in their games. However, with seven wins at the Olimpico, Roma remain a strong team while playing at the capital and we think the Giallorossi will secure at least a point on Saturday.
Safe Bet
Next to our first prediction which we consider to be almost safe to bet, we present another one concerning the corners market. Notably, Roma’s and Verona’s games this season saw on average 9.4 and 9.5 corners respectively. Hence, with odds of 1.58, we predict we will see under 10.5 corners at the Olimpico on Saturday.
Quick Rich
In the correct score market, the 2-1 result has odds of 8.00 at Vbet. Apparently, this result happened once in the last four h2h meetings and is the fifth most frequent score in Serie A. We predict Roma will beat Verona by the score of 2-1.
AS Roma vs Verona First Goalscorer
With 18 goals in all competitions since his arrival back in August, Tammy Abraham had a great impact on Roma’s attack. In fact, his goals were the reason in some matches that kept Mourinho and his team in touch with the top-six. We had predicted correctly for the Englishman to open the scoring against Sassuolo and we will back him again.

AS Roma vs Verona Team News
Jose Mourinho will be without Roger Ibanez at the back until mid-March. Surely, that leaves the Portuguese with few options at center back since he is playing with three central defenders recently. The return of Spinazolla is due on February 28 if everything goes according to plan.
Gianluca Frabotta and Pawel Dawidowicz remain the two long-term injuries for Igor Tudor. Goalkeeper Ivor Pandur was hit with a shoulder injury and is sidelined. Certainly, Verona’s last performance was more than impressive and Tudor may field the same lineup.
