The last match of the Roma team under Jose Mourinho was the meeting of the previous round of the Italian championship against AC Milan. Roma once again failed the game against the grand, losing to the Rossoneri for the second time in the season. By the 56th minute, the Giallorossi were already losing 0:2 and scored one goal through the efforts of Paredes, who converted a penalty but conceded again. 1:3 - Roma, after this defeat, dropped to ninth place in the Serie A standings and is five points behind the top-4.
Recall that also last week, Roma dropped out of the Italian Cup, losing minimally in the derby to Lazio. This failure also probably influenced the management of the capital team's decision to say goodbye to the head coach.
Hellas Verona
At a certain point of the season, the camp of Yellow-Blue was also close to a change of coach. However, Marco Baroni managed to improve the team's game slightly and, as a consequence, to stay at its helm. So, for example, in the last round, Verona won a crucial victory, breaking the resistance of Empoli - a direct competitor in the race for survival. 2:1 - Ngonge and Djuric scored for Verona, but there was a negative moment. Onjei Duda received a red card and will miss the match in Rome.
Despite the victory last weekend, Verona is still in the relegation zone. From the saving 17th line, Yellow-Blue is one point behind. In addition, we note that Verona has financial problems. The club has already sold several important players and, quite possibly, will sell more.
Expert Betting Tips
It is unlikely that the sacking of Mourinho, who brought Roma their first-ever European Cup trophy just two years ago, is the right decision. Now, the Giallorossi have an incomplete squad and an inexperienced coach. Roma's prospects are hard to believe, although not in the match against Verona. The Yellow-Blue have even more problems, and it is unlikely they can now seriously count on success in Rome. We bet on the home team and a more or less efficient match, given that Roma have improved their attack this season compared to last season.
