Roma are in Verona to secure fourth place

Roma travel to Verona, who are already relegated, as they look to claim a Champions League spot.

After seven seasons in Serie A, Verona bid farewell to the top flight as they host Roma, who are determined to win and secure a Champions League place. Otherwise, Gasperini’s side will have to rely on results elsewhere going their way.

Verona have won four of the last five meetings at the Bentegodi; Roma’s last victory there was on 31 October 2022 (1-3).
