Verona vs Roma
Italian Serie A.
Date: Sunday, 4 February 2018
Kick-Off: 11:30 UK/ 12:30 CET
Venue: Stadio Marc’Antonio Bentegodi (Verona).
Although there is no getting away from the fact that the away team in this week’s Hellas Verona vs Roma bets have been disappointing over the past month, it’s only fair to acknowledge that they have had some pretty tough fixtures. The Giallorossi lost to Juventus, Atalanta, and Sampdoria over the past thirty days – teams who are all in flying form.
Eusebio Di Francesco will have identified this weekend’s fixture as a real chance to rebuild his players’ confidence and get them back to winning ways against a team whose home record is the poorest in the division. In the reverse Serie A fixture between these teams in mid-September, the Romans produced a dominant display, eventually running out 3-0 winners.
Edin Dzeko helped himself to a couple of goals that day, though it remains to be seen if the Bosnian striker will be involved this weekend due to his ongoing negotiations with Chelsea. Even without Dzeko, Roma will expect to triumph. After evaluating the competition, we found 10Bet’s Serie A football betting odds to be potentially the most profitable prices to use with our first pick.
Despite their low league position, fans of the Gialloblu have been some of the best entertained supporters in Italy this season. The sheer number of goals in their games, made adding an over 2.5 goal selection to our Hellas Verona vs Roma predictions an easy choice.
Fabio Pecchia has seen sixty-seven goals fly in during his team’s matches in 2017/18, which works out at an incredible average of three goals per ninety minutes. Their contests at the Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi have been equally as exciting and have averaged 2.9 goals per game since August.
In seven of their most recent eight matches, over 2.5 goals have hit the net. In fact, supporters have been treated to ten goals in their last three fixtures alone. The Romans arrive having scored just five times in their last seven outings, though their players will be licking their lips at the prospect of facing a defence that has kept just one clean sheet in ten. Sunbets once again have the goal markets covered. You won’t find better odds for our second prediction at any other bookmaker.
