One final outing awaits Hellas Verona and Roma at the Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi on Sunday as the 2025-26 Serie A season draws to a close. While the hosts have nothing to play for this weekend beyond pride, having already suffered relegation weeks ago, the visitors will be targeting a win on Sunday to confirm UEFA Champions League qualification for the first time since the 2018-19 campaign, although a draw could also prove sufficient.
Hellas Verona endured a poor campaign, which eventually culminated in relegation earlier in the month, their first since the 2018-19 season.
Thanks for the submission!
Facing an Inter Milan side fresh off confirming a domestic double, Verona were expected to be blown away at the San Siro last weekend. However, they defied expectations, holding the champions to a 1-1 draw after Scottish striker Kieron Bowie netted a 91st-minute equalizer.
Roma, meanwhile, have enjoyed an excellent debut season under veteran head coach Gian Piero Gasperini and are closing in on a return to UCL football.
The Giallorossi made it four wins on the spin with a 2-0 victory over rivals Lazio in a tense Derby della Capitale last weekend. Gianluca Mancini was the hero of the derby, netting identical headers in both halves to see Roma complete the double over their city rivals for the first time in a decade.
Victory on Sunday will not only clinch a top-four finish for the visitors but will also see the capital club surpass the 70-point mark for the first time since the 2017-18 campaign.

Hellas Verona vs Roma Prediction
Two of the Giallorossi’s key defensive figures, in the form of Wesley and Evan Ndicka, are set to miss Sunday’s fixture due to suspension and injury, respectively.
However, Roma retain more than enough quality within their ranks to see off a Verona side that are winless in their last nine matches.
