Still chasing European football, Roma aim to extend their impressive unbeaten streak in Serie A when they welcome Hellas Verona to Stadio Olimpico on Saturday. The Giallorossi are unbeaten in 16 league outings, and their 1-1 draw in last weekend’s Derby della Capitale keeps them firmly in the hunt for a top-four finish, trailing Lazio by just two points. Matias Soule’s stunning strike from distance not only earned them a crucial point, but also marked their ninth goal from outside the area this season – a testament to their varied attacking threat under Claudio Ranieri.

Ranieri’s return to the dugout has reignited Roma’s campaign. With 11 wins and five draws since his reappointment, the capital club has not lost a Serie A game in 2025. Though European and domestic cup exits have tempered the mood slightly, Roma’s form in the league has been formidable, and they are now on the verge of equalling Luciano Spalletti’s 17-game unbeaten run from 2016. Particularly dominant at home, they’ve dropped only four points in their last nine matches at the Olimpico.

Hellas Verona, meanwhile, face a daunting task – they haven’t won at Roma in any of their last 27 visits, losing 21 times. However, they did manage to edge a 3-2 thriller in November’s reverse fixture and have taken four wins from the last nine league meetings overall – a stark improvement from their previous record of four wins in 46. More encouragingly for Paolo Zanetti’s side, their recent form has pulled them away from danger. Though they’ve drawn their last three games – including a goalless affair with Genoa – Verona are now eight points clear of the drop zone. Zanetti has instilled greater defensive resilience, with Verona keeping games tight early on and goalkeeper Lorenzo Montipo equalling his best season tally with eight clean sheets.

Team news remains a concern for both sides. Roma are without Paulo Dybala until the summer, and Lorenzo Pellegrini, Saud Abdulhamid, and Victor Nelsson are also in doubt. That puts the creative burden on Matias Soule, who has impressed with both flair and goals, while top scorer Artem Dovbyk continues to lead the line following his Player of the Month win in March. For Verona, injuries to Casper Tengstedt, Amin Sarr and Abdou Harroui leave them short in attack, meaning Daniel Mosquera is likely to spearhead the frontline alongside the returning Tomas Suslov.

While Verona have looked more organized of late, their frailty in the early stages – having conceded the most goals in Serie A’s opening 15 and 30 minutes – plays into Roma’s hands. Expect the Giallorossi to strike early and manage the game from there, keeping their unbeaten run alive with another measured home performance.

罗马仍然在追逐欧洲足球，他们的目标是延续他们令人印象深刻的意甲不败纪录，周六他们将在奥林匹克球场迎接维罗纳。罗马在16场联赛中保持不败，他们在上周末的首都德比中1-1战平，使他们在争夺前四的道路上更加坚定，只落后拉齐奥两分。马蒂亚斯·索莱的远射不仅为他们赢得了关键的一分，而且也是他们本赛季在禁区外的第9个进球——这是他们在拉涅利的带领下多样化的进攻威胁的证明。

拉涅利回到教练席重新点燃了罗马的斗志。自他重新上任以来，首都俱乐部取得了11胜5平的成绩，在2025年没有输过一场意甲比赛。尽管欧洲和国内杯赛的出局稍微缓和了气氛，但罗马在联赛中的状态令人生畏，他们现在即将追平卢西亚诺·斯帕莱蒂自2016年以来的17场不败纪录。特别是在主场，他们在奥林匹克球场的近9场比赛中只丢了4分。

与此同时，维罗纳面临着一个艰巨的任务——他们在过去27次做客罗马的比赛中没有赢过一场，输了21场。然而，他们在11月的逆转比赛中以3比2险胜对手，并且在最近的9场联赛中取得了4胜，这比他们之前的46场4胜的记录有了明显的进步。对于萨内蒂的球队来说，更令人鼓舞的是，他们最近的状态让他们远离了危险。虽然他们最近三场比赛都是平局，包括与热那亚的一场零比零，但维罗纳现在距离降级区还有8分的差距。萨内蒂给维罗纳注入了更强的防守弹性，维罗纳在比赛开始时保持了紧张的状态，门将洛伦佐·蒙蒂波以8场零封平了他本赛季的最佳纪录。

球队新闻仍然是双方关注的焦点。罗马在夏天之前都没有迪巴拉，佩莱格里尼、阿卜杜勒哈米德和尼尔森的伤情也不得而知。这就给天赋和进球都给人留下深刻印象的马蒂亚斯·索莱带来了创造性的负担，而最佳射手阿尔特姆·多夫比克在3月份获得月度最佳球员后继续领跑锋线。对于维罗纳来说，滕施泰特、萨尔和哈鲁伊的受伤使他们的进攻能力不足，这意味着莫斯克拉可能会和回归的苏斯洛夫一起领衔锋线。

虽然维罗纳最近看起来更有组织，但他们在早期阶段的弱点——在意甲开始的15分钟和30分钟丢了最多的球——对罗马有利。期待罗马能早早出击，从那里开始掌控比赛，用另一场有节制的主场表现保持不败。
