Shomurodov now in the starting lineup: “Accordingly, Eldor Shomurodov will be in the starting lineup”

Roma, which has a chance to end the season that started with difficulties with great success under Claudio Ranieri, has the main goal of securing a place in the European Champions League. The capital club, which has long dreamed of participating in the most prestigious competition on the continent, has not yet lost in the championship in 2025, but it must turn this series into victories.

In the 33rd round of Serie A, Verona, which is considered the weakest defense, will be the guest at the Stadio Olimpico. The match will start on April 19 at 23:45 Tashkent time.

Most experts expected Claudio Ranieri to field the duo of Eldor Shomurodov and Artem Dovbik in the attack line from the very first minutes. However, according to Roma24, this time the capital's players plan to play with only one central striker, and this player will be Eldor Shomurodov.

"Dovbik has been receiving treatment for his left knee for several days. Accordingly, Eldor Shomurodov will start in the starting lineup. The Uzbek forward will be assisted by two attacking midfielders - Mathias Sule and Tommaso Baldanzi," Roma24 writes.

Tuttomercatoweb also confirmed this information:

Unexpected changes are taking place in the Roma lineup. Claudio Ranieri will play Eldor Shomurodov in the center of attack in the match against Verona. The Uzbek player has always earned the trust of coaches with his hard work and mobility, and this time he is expected to make the most of the opportunity given to him.

Experts from the website "Vocegiallorossa" have provided interesting statistics on the meetings between the two teams:

"Roma" has not lost to "Verona" at home in the last 50 years. Out of 33 matches held in Rome, the hosts have won 23. Eldor Shomurodov has a great responsibility in this match, and he will be the key player to lead the team to victory.

Thus, the main goal for Eldor Shomurodov and his teammates is to win this important match. Every point is crucial on the way to the Champions League.
