Hellas Verona vs AS Roma Prediction: Preview and Betting Tips

Hellas Verona welcome AS Roma to the Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi in Verona on 24 May 2026 for the final round of Serie A’s Regular Season - 38. It is a meeting of teams at opposite ends of the table: Verona are fighting to salvage pride from a relegation campaign, while Roma arrive with a Champions League place already secured and looking to close on a high.

The standings underline the contrasting trajectories. Hellas Verona sit 19th with 21 points from 37 matches, deep in the relegation zone and burdened by a -34 goal difference after scoring just 25 and conceding 59. Roma, by contrast, are 4th on 70 points, with 57 goals scored and only 31 conceded, and are firmly in the “Promotion - Champions League (League phase)” places.

With Roma heavily favoured by bookmakers and prediction models, many punters will be eyeing this clash for Serie A betting tips, including options like AS Roma to win, goals markets, and player-focused angles around the likes of Donyell Malen and Matías Soulé. For Verona, this is about damage limitation and one last chance to trouble a top-four side in front of their own fans.

Hellas Verona vs AS Roma — Tale of the Tape

• Position: 19 vs 4
• Points: 21 vs 70
• Goals For: 25 vs 57
• Goals Against: 59 vs 31
• Clean Sheets: 6 vs 17

The season record shows a huge gulf in quality and consistency. Verona’s 3 wins, 12 draws and 22 defeats from 37 fixtures, with just 25 goals scored, paint the picture of a side that has struggled badly in both boxes. Their home record is particularly poor: only 1 win in 18 at the Bentegodi, with 12 goals scored and 26 conceded.

Roma, by contrast, have been one of Serie A’s most balanced outfits. With 22 wins and only 31 goals conceded in 37 matches, they combine a potent attack (57 scored) with a robust defence that has delivered 17 clean sheets. A strong home record (13 wins from 19) is matched by a respectable away return of 9 wins from 18, suggesting they are well-equipped to control high-pressure away fixtures like this.

Hellas Verona vs AS Roma Key Matchups

G. Orban vs D. Malen

From Verona’s perspective, Gift Emmanuel Orban is a key attacking reference. The forward has 7 goals and 2 assists in 28 appearances, with 61 shots and 28 on target, showing he is not shy about pulling the trigger. His 19 successful dribbles from 38 attempts indicate he can carry the ball and create his own chances, though a rating of 6.52 and only 71 duels won from 205 highlight how often he is isolated and outmuscled.

On the other side, Donyell Malen has been one of Roma’s most clinical finishers. In just 17 appearances, all as a starter, he has scored 13 goals and added 2 assists. With 46 shots and 29 on target, he boasts an excellent conversion rate, and he has also converted 3 penalties from 3. His 7 key passes and 36 dribble attempts (14 successful) show he contributes beyond pure finishing. If Verona’s fragile back line allows Malen space between the lines or in transition, he has the numbers to punish them ruthlessly.

R. Gagliardini vs M. Soulé

In midfield, Roberto Gagliardini is central to Verona’s attempts to disrupt Roma’s rhythm. Across 29 appearances, he has made 73 tackles, 13 blocks and 54 interceptions, winning 169 of 285 duels. Those defensive numbers, combined with 10 yellow cards, underline his role as an aggressive ball-winner. His 1 goal and 16 key passes from 1,166 total passes (81% accuracy) show he can contribute in possession, but his main task here will be containment.

Matías Soulé is one of Roma’s creative hubs. In 32 appearances (27 starts), he has 6 goals and 5 assists, backed by 45 key passes and 953 completed passes at 84% accuracy. With 92 dribble attempts and 34 successful, plus 40 fouls drawn, he excels at carrying the ball into dangerous areas and forcing defensive errors. The duel between Gagliardini’s physicality and Soulé’s flair will be crucial in determining whether Verona can slow Roma’s attacking patterns.

Hellas Verona vs AS Roma Prediction

Analysis points to a match controlled by Roma from the outset. Verona’s league form string of “DLDDL” and their season-long average of 0.7 goals per game suggest they will struggle to create sustained pressure, especially against a Roma side that concedes only 0.8 goals per match and has kept 17 clean sheets. Roma’s recent league form of “WWWWD” and their last-five attacking output of 12 goals (2.4 per game) underline their superiority.

The prediction metrics give Roma a 45% chance of victory, with 45% on the draw and only 10% on a Verona win. While the win-or-draw flag is against Roma, the overall comparison metrics (69% total edge to Roma) and the gulf in quality make the visitors strong favourites. Expect Verona to sit deep in a back three or five, but Roma’s variety in attack through Malen, Soulé and their wing-backs should eventually break them down.

Predicted Score: Hellas Verona 1-2 AS Roma

Hellas Verona Possible Starting Lineup

Montipò; M. Frese, V. Nelsson, A. Bella-Kotchap; Pol Lirola, R. Gagliardini, J. Akpa Akpro, S. Serdar, D. Bradarić; G. Orban, D. Mosquera.

Verona have used back-three systems extensively, most commonly a 3-5-2, and that is likely again here. L. Montipò should anchor the side in goal, with a defensive line built around M. Frese, V. Nelsson and A. Bella-Kotchap. In midfield, the physical presence of R. Gagliardini and J. Akpa Akpro, supported by S. Serdar, will be tasked with screening the defence and closing down Roma’s creators, while Pol Lirola and D. Bradarić offer width as wing-backs. Up front, the mobility and shooting volume of G. Orban, supported by D. Mosquera, provide Verona’s main goal threat on the break.

AS Roma Possible Starting Lineup

M. Svilar; G. Mancini, Hermoso, E. Ndicka; Z. Çelik, Wesley, B. Cristante, Angeliño; M. Soulé, P. Dybala; D. Malen.

Roma have predominantly lined up in a 3-4-2-1, and that shape suits this fixture. M. Svilar should start in goal behind a back three of G. Mancini, Hermoso and E. Ndicka, combining aerial strength with ball progression. Z. Çelik and Angeliño offer thrust from wing-back, while Wesley and B. Cristante provide balance in central midfield. In the advanced roles, M. Soulé and P. Dybala can drift between the lines to link play and create, with D. Malen spearheading the attack and looking to exploit Verona’s high concession rate, especially late in games.

Betting Tips: Hellas Verona vs AS Roma

Exactly 3 distinct tips from different markets:

• Result Tip: Back AS Roma to win. Roma have 22 league victories, far superior recent form (“WWWWD”), and a strong head-to-head edge in recent meetings. With prediction metrics giving them a clear overall advantage and Verona stuck on 3 wins all season, the away win stands out. For a competitive price on Roma, Betfair offer around 1.33 on the away victory in the Match Winner market.
• Goals Tip: Back under 3.5 total goals. Verona average just 0.7 goals scored per game and have failed to score 19 times, while Roma concede only 0.8 per match and are comfortable managing leads. Recent H2H clashes have often been tight in Rome, and Verona’s low attacking output suggests a controlled Roma win rather than a goal-fest. Conservative bettors can combine this with Roma to win in same-game multiples where available, but the standalone under 3.5 line is a sensible angle.
• Value Tip: Consider D. Malen to score anytime. With 13 goals in 17 appearances and 3 penalties converted, Malen is Roma’s most prolific finisher. Verona concede 1.6 goals per game and have struggled badly against mobile forwards. While player-specific odds are not listed here, this market typically offers more generous prices than the match result, and Malen’s strike rate plus Roma’s attacking dominance make him a logical value target in goalscorer markets.
