Roma take on the visitors ChievoVerona at the Stadio Olimpico in the 4th tour of the Serie A TIM. The match will be played in the eponymous city Rome on Sunday, September 16th.
Roma will face Real Madrid in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League in just several days. However, they have some things to fix in the Serie A TIM in the first place. I Giallorossi conceded five goals overall in their previous league matches against Milan and Atalanta which was a lot. It`s worth noting that the team of Eusebio Di Francesco has had some changes this summer, they have signed a lot of new players and have lost some key players. For example, their star keeper Alisson has left for Liverpool. Their off-season results have not been the best and the team has been scoring only a little goals. La Lupa are probably not ready for the tough playing schedule yet, they have not achieved the teamwork. Thereby they have been having lots of problems lately. In their three matches of the 2018/2019 Serie A TIM season Roma won once (over Torino with a 1-0 score), drew once (against Atalanta with a 3-3 score) and lost also once (to Milan with a 1-2 score). La Magica have also had one friendly match recently where they have lost to Benevento with a 1-2 score.

ChievoVerona were able to score two goals against Juventus In the first tour fixture. However, in the second tour the team lost to Fiorentina with a 1-6 score. It`s worth noting that I Gialloblu were really close to being relegated to the Serie B last season. They have lost some of their key defenders this summer too. Furthermore, before the start of the 2018/2019 season the team of Lorenzo D`Anna got minus three points after the Italian football federation decision. ChievoVerona could possibly just lock up in their defense in their upcoming fixture because they failed in the previous tours leaning on their offensive line. It`s worth noting that the main keeper of the team Stefano Sorrentino has been back from his injury for two matches already and has not conceded goals yet. Maybe I Mussi Volanti could possibly show such good performance as they did in the first tour against Juventus. In their last three matches ChievoVerona beat Triestina with a 3-0 score, drew against Empoli with a 0-0 score and lost to Fiorentina with a 1-6 score.
On paper Roma are favored to beat ChievoVerona in the upcoming fixture. It is a question though if they will be able to score more than two goals. ChievoVerona on the other hand looked bad in the defense in their previous league matches but they also scored at least one goal in seven of their eight last Serie A TIM fixtures. The team of Lorenzo D`Anna will be able to surprise the team of Eusebio Di Francesco in one of the two halves of the upcoming match at least. It is likely that if ChievoVerona lose the score will not be very big. Nonetheless, Roma need to save some energy for their match against Real Madrid on Wednesday.
Prediction for the match: ChievoVerona to win with +2.5 handicap.
