Verona vs. Roma: Lineups & Game Thread

Following Roma's horrific 5-1 defeat to Fiorentina last weekend, Ivan Juric's tenure as Roma's interim manager was facing a premature ending, especially with rumors of a locker room rift between the manager and a few key players. However, after squeaking past Torino on Thursday in a tightly contested 1-0 victory, Juric received a stay of execution as Roma’s manager.

Now, don't get it twisted; he's not likely to keep the job after this season and will likely face increasing scrutiny anytime Roma stumbles, but for now, Juric's mission is clear: avoid humiliation (and relegation) at any cost. Fortunately for Juric, Roma has a relatively soft fixture today, an away tilt against 14th-place Hellas Verona—losers of three straight matches and one of a handful of clubs doing worse than Roma this season.

The lineups are in, so let's see if Juric can conjure up two straight wins for the first time this season.
