Lazio vs Verona Preview

The Biancocelesti have established themselves as one of the most prolific sides in the Serie A this campaign with their attacking frontline firing on all cylinders. In fact, they are currently spotting the highest goal difference within the cluster.

With a Serie A title challenge in view, the home side will be looking to rack up as many points as possible before the season’s curtains draw close. For that, they will be required to see off this unpredictable Verona side to keep up with reigning champions Juventus at the summit.

As Hellas Verona come around town on Wednesday evening, free-scoring Lazio will be looking to put their rather weaker opponents to the sword in their bid to keep up with fellow title challengers, Juventus and Inter Milan.

Lazio vs Verona Team News

Lazio were dealt a major blow in the Derby Della Capitale versus Roma a few weeks ago, following their frustrating 1-1 draw at the Stadio Olimpico. Indeed, the visitors were far from their best on the day and never really looked like snatching all three points.

Heading home with their heads to the ground, the Biancocelesti were itching to return to winning ways in the subsequent league game against basement club SPAL. Considered overwhelming favorites for the win, Lazio duly posted the three points on the board.

As the goals kept coming, SPAL’s manager must have been praying for the match to come to a close as his side simply couldn’t cope with Lazio’s attacking prowess. Firing five unanswered goals past the relegation-threatened side, Stadio Olimpico was left buzzing at the sound of the final whistle.

Currently boasting of a fantastic home record of nine wins and two draws this season, Lazio have scored an astonishing 3.18 goals per game whilst conceding 0.82 in return. A win here will see them leapfrog downtrodden Inter Milan into second place.

Verona, on the other hand, have been enjoying a decent spell in recent weeks, maintaining a six-game winning streak in the Serie A. Last time out, they managed to hold tough customers AC Milan to a one-all draw at San Siro.

They had the injury to Zlatan Ibrahimovic to thank for the draw, as Milan’s attacking frontline was left totally blunt all through the game. Through the six games, they have picked up twelve points along the way, including victories over the likes of SPAL, Genoa and Leece.

The Scagliers could not be more satisfied about their Serie A campaign, sitting ninth on the log, a measly two points shy of the Europa League places. The club’s supporter must already be dreaming of a top-six finish come the end of the season.

The visiting contingent have managed an away record of three wins, three draws and four defeats so far, averaging 1.10 goals per game whilst allowing 1.20 down the other end of the pitch.

Injured or Suspended Players

Lazio vs Verona Predictions

Verona have been on a decent goalscoring run in recent weeks having recorded one goal, at least, in each of their last twelve league matches. Meanwhile, the home side are the highest goalscoring side within the cluster and are definitely finding the back of the net this Wednesday. Given both sides have perfected the craft of finding the back of the net, outscoring the other side is paramount in this fixture.

As such, Lazio have to be considered favorites for the win here, but not without conceding a few goals in the process. Expect an exciting and enthralling game at the Stadio Olimpico.
