Verona vs Roma Prediction 24 May 2026
📢 Can Roma secure their place in next season’s Champions League on the final matchday of Serie A? On May 24, the Giallorossi travel to the Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi for a clash with Verona. The hosts have little left to play for, having already lost any realistic hope of Serie A survival. Still, Verona continue to show plenty of fight, so Roma shouldn’t expect an easy ride in this one.
Head-to-Head
📊 Recent head-to-head history favours Roma: across 29 meetings, the Giallorossi have claimed 18 wins, with six matches ending in draws and Verona picking up just five victories. Earlier this season, Roma secured a routine 2-0 home win, although the contest itself proved much more competitive than pre-match expectations suggested.

Hellas Verona Team Overview
🔵 This upcoming fixture marks Verona’s final appearance in Serie A for at least a year. The Mastiffs have struggled to adapt to the demands of the current campaign, scraping together points and now sitting 19th in the table. Their relegation was sealed weeks ago, and with one matchday left, they trail even 18th place by a massive 13 points.
🟡 Even though the results no longer carry any real significance, Verona continue to give everything on the pitch. Over their last four outings, they have suffered just one defeat-a narrow home loss in a tightly contested match against Como (0-1). The Mastiffs did manage to throw a wrench into Juventus’ Champions League chase with a 1-1 draw in Turin, and last weekend they held newly crowned champions Inter to another 1-1 stalemate away from home.

Roma Team Overview
🔴 Roma have hit peak form at exactly the right time. A run of four consecutive victories has propelled them up the table, and with just one round remaining, they sit fourth in Serie A. Holding a two-point cushion over fifth place, the Giallorossi control their own destiny: a win against Verona will secure Champions League qualification, regardless of other results.
🟡 Last weekend saw Roma play a crucial fixture. On May 17, the Giallorossi faced their fierce rivals, Lazio-a matchup that is never straightforward. Driven by their Champions League ambitions, Roma delivered a commanding performance, outplaying the Biancocelesti and sealing a 2-0 victory. Centre-back Gianluca Mancini played a pivotal role, netting both goals to lead his side to a vital derby win.

Latest news
Hellas Verona
🚫 For the hosts, Roberto Gagliardini is suspended for this match, while Daniel Oyegoke, Suat Serdar, and Daniel Mosquera are sidelined through injury.
📌 In terms of impact, Gagliardini’s absence stands out the most. He has consistently played the full 90 minutes recently, so missing him could disrupt Verona’s balance in midfield. The other absences are nothing new for Verona and have already been factored into their plans.
Roma
🚫 The visitors will be without Wesley, who is suspended, while Evan Ndicka, Bryan Zaragoza, and Evan Ferguson are sidelined through injury.
📌 Roma's main concern lies in defence: Ndicka and Wesley are both key figures at the back, so their absence could seriously undermine the team's solidity. The losses of Zaragoza and Ferguson seem less significant, especially given that Ferguson has been out for an extended period.
⚽ Goal Prediction
Roma traditionally start strong against Verona, especially in the first half-“the Mastiffs” have conceded before the break in six of their last seven Serie A head-to-heads with the Giallorossi. In the reverse fixture, the Wolves were on the scoresheet as early as the 7th minute. Given how crucial this match is for the visitors, a Roma goal in the first half at odds of 1.53* looks like a reasonable prediction.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Verona rarely threaten from corners when facing Roma: “the Mastiffs” have taken no more than three corners in eight of their last nine Serie A meetings with the capital club. In the first half of the season, they managed just a single corner. In this context, backing Verona under 3.5 corners at odds of 2.03* stands out as an intriguing option.
*Odds are approximate and may vary across different bookmakers.
Editor’s Prediction
According to the bookmakers, Roma are clear favourites heading into this clash-and we’re fully on board with that assessment. Yes, Verona managed to take points off both Juventus and Inter, but context matters: Juventus have been struggling to convert chances in recent matches, while Inter fielded a heavily rotated side on that occasion. The Giallorossi, meanwhile, have plenty of motivation-securing a coveted Champions League spot leaves no room for complacency in Rome’s camp. Our main pick here is a Roma win with a -1 handicap. We’re predicting a straightforward 2-0 victory for the visitors.
