Verona vs Lazio

Verona are aiming to boost their survival hopes when they host Lazio in an Italian Serie A fixture.

The visitors have stumbled in recent weeks and will be keen to get back on track in the race for European places. They will fancy their chances against the hosts, who have struggled at home all season.

Verona News

It has been a difficult campaign for Verona, who have picked up just two wins from their 18 Serie A matches so far. Gialobu are currently in the relegation zone, but the good news is they are only three points from safety.

Verona will take plenty of positives from their 2-2 home draw with Napoli last time out, despite throwing away a two-goal first-half lead from Martin Freese and Gift Orban.

However, Paolo Zanetti’s team could use some home improvement, having lost three of their last four matches in front of their fans.

Poor defending has been a problem for Verona, who are without a clean sheet in their last seven matches. However, they have found the net in five of those fixtures.

Lazio News

Lazio appear to be losing ground in the European race, having failed to win in their last four matches. That run has seen them drop to ninth in the table, eight points off the top six.

The capital club are also coming off a draw last time out in Serie A, having been held 2-2 at home by Fiorentina, with Pedro's brace earning them a share of the spoils. Maurizio Sarri's team are also unbeaten in five of their last seven away matches, winning at least one half in two of those fixtures.

Lazio have struggled to keep things tight at the back and are without a clean sheet in their last two matches. However, they have scored first in their last two away fixtures.

Head to Head

Lazio have seven wins and three draws, while Verona have picked up just two victories in the last 12 matches. The visitors earned a 4-0 home win in the reverse fixture back in August.

Verdict

Verona v Lazio

Lazio have a good record in this fixture and are unbeaten in the last six matches against Verona. Having won at least one half in all six fixtures, the capital club could be set for a similar pattern.

The visitors have scored first in their last two away matches, and a repeat could be on the cards. With neither defence looking convincing at the moment, both teams could also be backed to score here.
