Verona vs Lazio
Italian Serie A
Date: 6 February 2023, Monday
Kick-off at 17:30 UK / 18:30 CET
Venue: Stadio Marc’Antonio Bentegodi (Verona).
Verona will continue their battle for avoiding relegation on Monday afternoon when they host Lazio in the 21st round of Serie A.
Marco Zaffaroni has managed to shift Verona’s fortunes around since taking charge of the team.
Verona have tightened things up defensively under new manager. It is fair to say they are now pretty tough to break down given the team allowed just two goals in the previous four league outings.
It is a decent run indeed if we know they have faced the likes of Inter Milan and Udinese both on the road in the process.
Verona kept their net untouched in back-to-back home wins over Cremonese and Lecce last month.
They are now only five points shy of the safe zone and a potential result on Monday against Lazio would get Zaffaroni’s men even closer to safety.
The good news for Verona and their fans is Lazio’s recent form. The team led by Maurizio Sarri did not show anything offensively in the previous two games against Fiorentina (a 1-1 draw in the league last weekend) and Juventus (a 1-0 loss in Coppa Italia in mid-week).
Lazio failed to register more than a single shot on target in the cup defeat to Juventus on Thursday evening in Turin.
On another note, though, it is worth mentioning that I Biancocelesti have only conceded six goals in nine away outings in this term of Serie A. Are we in for a low-scoring encounter on Monday?
Verona vs Lazio Head-to-head
- Lazio have a great overall record against Verona with 13 wins, 5 draws, and 6 defeats in the previous 24 meetings.
- However, Verona were the more successful side in the history of the H2H clashes at Stadio Marc’Antonio Bentegodi where they won five and lost four of the last eleven matches against I Biancocelesti.
- Two of the last three H2H games between these counterparts provided at least five goals.
Verona vs Lazio Prediction
Verona have been very tough to break down of late while Lazio have only conceded six goals in nine away matches since the beginning of the season.
This is a huge game for the hosts who are looking to take advantage of momentum and get closer to the safe zone. We are very much tempted to back Verona to win & Under 2.5 goals FT bet at the sky-high 7.00 odds.
