Hellas Verona vs AS Roma: Preview, kick-off time and where to watch on TV and online
AS Roma seek their first win of the Serie A season when they visit Hellas Verona at the Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi in Matchday 2 on Saturday, after a frustrating start to the campaign.
Jose Mourinho's side were held to a 2-2 draw against Salernitana on the opening weekend, with the only positive being the return to form of striker Andrea Belotti as he netted a brace and saw another goal chalked off for a marginal offside.
Verona made an impressive start to the campaign by earning a 1-0 win over Empoli, and will be looking for more points against the Giallorossi as they put their near-death brush with relegation last season behind them.

As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, Roma welcome back forward Paulo Dybala and captain Lorenzo Pellegrini from their respective suspensions, with Stephan El Shaarawy and Edoardo Bove likely to drop to the bench.
