Top of the table meets the very bottom on Sunday afternoon when Roma travel to Stadio Marc’Antonio Bentegodi to take on struggling Verona in the fourth round of the Serie A.

Roma’s former manager Eusebio Di Francesco will not have the chance to face his ex team as he has just parted ways with Hellas Verona on Tuesday.

People at Verona did not have patience for Di Francesco who got off to a terrible start with three defeats in three matches.

They have now probably regretted losing Ivan Juric who led them quite successfully in the last couple of seasons.

They latest of Verona’s failures came on Monday evening in the last fixture of the previous Serie A round.

They fell 1-0 away at Bologna without making a single shot on target in the 90 minutes of the affair at the Stadio Renato Dall’Ara.

Verona’s new manager is Igor Tudor (Ivan Juric’s compatriot) and he will make his debut on the team’s bench on Sunday against Roma.

Tudor (a former Juventus center-back) did not have much time to pull of miracles, but it will certainly be interesting to see whether his appointment will bring in some new energy inside the team’s dressing room.

Roma thus go into this match as enormous favorites based on everything we’ve seen so far in the season.

在周日下午的意甲第四轮比赛中，罗马将在本特戈迪球场迎战苦苦挣扎的维罗纳。

罗马前主教练迪弗朗西斯科将没有机会面对他的前球队，因为他刚刚在周二离开了维罗纳。

维罗纳的人们对迪·弗朗西斯科没有耐心，他在三场比赛中输掉了三场比赛，开局糟糕。

他们现在可能后悔失去了伊万·尤里奇，他在过去的几个赛季里带领球队取得了成功。

维罗纳最近的一次失利是在周一晚上的意甲最后一场比赛中。

在达尔阿拉球场的90分钟里，他们在客场1-0输给博洛尼亚，一球未中。

维罗纳的新教练是伊戈尔·图多尔(伊万·尤里奇的同胞)，他将在周日对阵罗马的比赛中首次在替补席上亮相。

图多尔(前尤文图斯中后卫)没有多少时间创造奇迹，但他的任命是否会给球队的更衣室带来一些新的活力肯定是有趣的。

根据本赛季迄今为止我们所看到的一切，罗马是这场比赛中最受欢迎的球队。
