Stats before the game: After the 2-1 success in the first leg, Verona could win both matches in a single season against Roma in Serie A for the second time in their history, after 1968/69 with Giancarlo Cadè as coach. Great balance in the last seven matches between Roma and Verona in Serie A: three successes for each side (including the 3-0 forfeit in favor of the Scaligeri on 19 September 2020) and a draw. Roma have remained unbeaten in their last 26 home matches against Verona in Serie A (20W, 6D), the last success of the Scaligeri away from the Giallorossi dates back to 28 January 1973; only against Bari (30), Roma has a longer open streak of consecutive matches without home defeats in the tournament.
Roma have lost their last two matches (against Lazio in the Italian Cup and Milan in Serie A), the last time the Giallorossi recorded three consecutive defeats in all competitions dates back to the period between April and May 2021 under Paulo Fonseca. Verona have won two of their last four league matches (2L), as many successes as in the previous 20 Serie A matches (6N, 12L). After the victory against Empoli, the Scaligeri could achieve two successes in a row in the league for the first time since last August, against Empoli and Roma.
