Hellas Verona striker Giampaolo Pazzini believes Roma's new signing Edin Dzeko 'changes the balance' in the race for the Scudetto.
Fans in the capital have been abuzz after the 29-year-old scored two goals in his Giallorossi debut against Sevilla, and Pazzini believes the hype is largely justified.
“With Dzeko Roma can shift the balance,” he said in an interview with Il Corriere dello Sport. “But I believe Juventus are still the favourites.

Fans in the capital have been abuzz after the 29-year-old scored two goals in his Giallorossi debut against Sevilla, and Pazzini believes the hype is largely justified.
“With Dzeko Roma can shift the balance,” he said in an interview with Il Corriere dello Sport. “But I believe Juventus are still the favourites.
“For the Scudetto you also have to look out for the two teams from Milan, who have spent a lot.”
The 31-year-old then discussed his own future at Verona.
“Can I coexist with [fellow striker Luca] Toni? Yes, because I can generate more movement.
“I haven't set myself a target as far as scoring goes. I won't give a number, I'd rather stay away from those.
“The most important thing for me is finding my condition and making sure the team is safe from relegation as soon as possible.”
