Jose Mourinho’s Roma are hungry to pick up their first win of the new season in their away trip to Hellas Verona.

The match between the Gialloblu and the Giallorossi kicks off at 19.45 UK time at the Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi in Verona.

Roma did not have an easy time of things in their season opener against Salernitana; they took an early 1-0 lead through Andrea Belotti but fell 2-1 down within an hour following an Antonio Candreva brace, before Belotti secured his own brace in the 82nd minute to tie things up.

Hellas Verona edged out a tense 1-0 win away to Empoli in their first outing of the campaign, taking home all three points thanks to goalscorer Federico Bonazzoli.

The Giallorossi are without Marash Kumbulla, Tammy Abraham and Renato Sanches, all of whom are out injured.

The home side cannot count on the injured Darko Lazovic, Jayden Braaf and Thomas Henry.

Last season, Roma picked up the double over Hellas Verona, winning 3-1 away and 1-0 at home.
