Serie A is back in action with another set of matches this weekend as Hellas Verona lock horns with Daniele de Rossi's AS Roma side in a crucial encounter at the Stadio Olimpico on Saturday.
AS Roma vs Hellas Verona Preview
Hellas Verona are currently in 18th place in the Serie A standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The away side edged Empoli to an important 2-1 victory last week and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
AS Roma, on the other hand, are in ninth place in the league table at the moment and have failed to meet expectations over the past year. The Giallorossi slumped to a damaging 3-1 defeat at the hands of AC Milan in their previous game and have a point to prove this weekend.
