San Siro Clash: AC Milan’s Momentum Meets Torino’s Tenacity
Key Stats
– Hellas Verona have kicked off the season with two wins in two matches across all competitions.
– Goals from both ends have been a consistent feature in Roma’s last five games.
The new season has commenced, and Serie A is ablaze with exciting encounters. This weekend, the spotlights fall on Roma as they travel to Hellas Verona, striving to obtain their first victory this term. Their track record tells us there’s no room for complacency.
Journey So Far: Both Teams
Roma, although they managed to salvage a point in their season opener, would have had an unfavourable start if it wasn’t for Andrea Belotti. His magnificent brace in the match was a sigh of relief for fans, especially after the torment of seeing him go goalless throughout the 2022-23 campaign. This newfound optimism surrounding Belotti contrasts with the side’s unfortunate loss of Tammy Abraham.

Hellas Verona, on the other hand, seem to be finding their groove earlier than most. With two triumphs already under their belt, they’ve set the stage for a potential upset against Roma, making this tie an intriguing prospect.
Past Glories and Present Endeavours
In Jose Mourinho’s two previous seasons with Roma, a perfect start was established as they conquered their first two Serie A games. This positive precedent contrasts with their current situation, as they sit without a win. Moreover, their track record of only seven away triumphs last season adds to their growing concerns.
Verona haven’t had it entirely rosy either. The past seasons have seen them lose over half their encounters with the Giallorossi. But, they’ve started this campaign on a brighter note and would be hungry to maintain that momentum.
Squad Updates and Tactical Insights
For Roma, the suspensions are over, and they’re boosted with the return of their star, Paulo Dybala, and their skipper, Lorenzo Pellegrini. With Abraham still nursing his wounds, Belotti is expected to be the pivotal player, having already shown glimpses of his brilliance. Their midfield is further strengthened with the potential inclusions of Leandro Paredes and Renato Sanches.
Verona’s lineup will witness Marco Faraoni and Isak Hien returning to action. However, some concerns remain as players like Darko Lazovic and Jayden Braaf are sidelined due to injuries. Their striking department might rely on Federico Bonazzoli, the man behind their victorious goal against Empoli.
Predictions Based on Recent Form and Stats
1. Match Outcome: Both Teams to Score
Given that both sides have showcased their offensive capabilities, it’s safe to assume that both nets will bulge. Roma’s past five games have seen goals from either end, solidifying this prediction.
2. Correct Score Prediction: 2-1 in favour of Roma
Delving deep into the statistics, Roma have shown superior ball possession, averaged more shots on target per game and demonstrated better ball control in the opposition half. However, their defence is slightly shaky, justifying the belief that they might concede.
3. Goalscorer Prediction: Andrea Belotti
Riding high on confidence after his recent brace, Belotti is the obvious choice. His presence up front and his recent form make him the prime candidate to register his name on the scoresheet. As an additional note, he could very well be the one to break the deadlock.
