Verona vs. AS Roma Preview

VERONA, Italy (Interstat) — Verona hosts AS Roma on Sunday, May 24, 2026, in a Serie A matchup that carries implications for both teams’ positioning late in the season. Kickoff is at the Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi.

Verona enters the match after a 1-1 draw at Inter Milan on May 17, a result that snapped a two-match losing streak. Prior to that, Verona fell 1-0 to Como on May 10 and 1-0 to Juventus on May 3. The home side has struggled for consistency, posting only two wins in its last 10 Serie A matches: a 1-0 victory at Lecce on April 25 and a 4-2 win over Spezia on April 6. Losses to AC Milan (1-0), Torino (2-1), Fiorentina (1-0), Monza (1-0), Atalanta (1-0) and Genoa (2-0) have left Verona near the middle of the table.

A player to watch for Verona is forward Kieron Bowie. In his most recent appearance, on May 10 against Como, Bowie started but was substituted out after a quiet outing in a 1-0 loss. He will look to make a more substantial impact against Roma’s defense.

AS Roma arrives with momentum after a 2-0 derby victory over Lazio on May 17. That win extended Roma’s unbeaten run to four matches (three wins, one draw). The Giallorossi also defeated Hellas Verona’s U20 side 2-0 on May 15, beat Parma 3-2 on May 10, and drew 0-0 with Sassuolo U20 on May 9. Roma’s recent form includes victories over Fiorentina (4-0), Cremonese U20 (3-2) and Bologna (2-0), with draws against Juventus U20 (1-1), Lazio U20 (0-0) and Atalanta (1-1). The only loss in their last 10 came at Pisa (3-0) on April 10.

The head-to-head history favors Roma. In the most recent meeting, on Sept. 28, 2025, Roma defeated Verona 2-0 in Verona. That result extended Roma’s dominance in the fixture.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a 1-1 draw, suggesting a tight contest. Verona will rely on home support to counter Roma’s attacking threats, while Roma aims to continue its strong form. Both teams will be eager for points as the Serie A season enters its final weeks.
