----------------------------------------------------------------------
Roma, still chasing European qualification, will look to extend their unbeaten Serie A run when they host Hellas Verona. While Roma are on a 16-match unbeaten streak, Verona's recent form is bringing them closer to survival.

Team Analysis:
Roma drew with Lazio in a crucial Derby della Capitale, staying two points behind their top-four rivals. Verona, struggling in Serie A, has a poor record in Rome, with no wins in their last 27 visits. However, they won the reverse fixture 3-2 in November and have won four of the last nine encounters with Roma.

Player Situation:
Roma will be without Paulo Dybala for the rest of the season, and captain Lorenzo Pellegrini is also struggling with a shoulder injury. Victor Nelsson and Saud Abdulhamid are dealing with foot and thigh issues, respectively. Artem Dovbyk, along with rising star Matias Soule, will lead the attack in Dybala's absence.
For Hellas Verona, several players, including Casper Tengstedt and Abdou Harroui, are sidelined, but Tomas Suslov and Cheikh Niasse are expected to return. Verona will rely on Daniel Mosquera to lead their attack in the absence of key players.

Result Prediction:
Verona's main challenge will be surviving the first half, as they've conceded the most goals in Serie A early on, with 61% of their goals coming before the break. While they've improved defensively recently, Roma are still expected to take control and secure a comfortable home win.

Predicted Result: AS Roma 2-0 Hellas Verona
