Serie A
Hellas Verona vs Roma
The Giallorossi may have won the last fixture against Verona, but the Mastiffs weren't exactly obedient in that defeat. With more dribbles, a higher passing rate and 65% possession, Ivan Juric's side put up quite a fight against Roma and would have shared points with Fonseca's side were it not for an early penalty converted by Jordan Veretout.
Facing such a tenacious side, Roma's midfield pivot will be even more pivotal. If Amadou Diawara and Veretout can maintain and recycle possession, or at least do as Fonseca suggests and move the ball quickly through the transition phases, Roma should be able to make more effective use of their possession.
