| 21 | Points | 70 |

Hellas Verona have shown signs of resilience in recent weeks, including an encouraging 1-1 draw away at Inter Milan last time out, despite their drop to Serie B being confirmed.
That result means the Mastiffs have lost only once across their previous four league matches, a rare bright spell during an otherwise miserable campaign.
Since Christmas, Verona have managed just a single Serie A victory, which has seen them relegated from the Serie A.
Their struggles at the Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi have been especially severe, failing to win in their last 11 Serie A games.
Verona have also failed to score in each of their last five home league matches, and another blank here would make it six in a row.
Roma, meanwhile, head into the final day of the Serie A season with their UEFA Champions League destiny in their own hands.
Gian Piero Gasperini’s side are chasing a return to the Champions League for the first time since the 2017/18 campaign.
Victory on the final day would guarantee qualification for Europe’s elite competition, while any slip-up could open the door for rivals Juventus and Como to move above them.
Roma appeared to have fallen out of contention after a difficult spell away from home earlier in the season.
However, recent victories at Bologna and Parma have revived belief and positioned the Giallorossi to finish strong.

Whispers predicts: Hellas Verona 1-3 Roma
The recent form of Roma is the main driver behind this prediction of a 1-3 victory for the away side.
Gasperini's side will be highly motivated to secure all three points on the final day as they look to cement their top-four spot.
In contrast, the home team have been poor this season and will have to put up a huge fight if they are to have a chance in this game.
The bookmakers have made Roma the heavy favourites at 1.33, while a draw is valued at 4.50 and a surprise home victory for Hellas Verona is priced at 10.00.
The odds for over 2.5 goals are set at 1.80, which is very likely given the attacking intent of the visitors, while both teams to score are also priced at 2.20 odds.
Another valuable option for this game is the away team total goals (over 1.5), which is given at 1.50 odds.
> Away to win at 1.33 | Likelihood: Possible
> Over 2.5 goals at 1.80 | Likelihood: Possible
> Both teams to score at 2.20 | Likelihood: Probable
> Away team total goal (over 1.5) at 1.50 | Likelihood: Possible
