Verona vs Lazio prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2026-01-10 17:00.
[p]Struggling Verona look to boost their survival hopes this weekend when they host a Lazio side who are losing ground in the European race. [/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Kicking off December with successive victories probably feels like a distant memory for Verona, who have posted three winless league games since (D1, L2) which have left them inside the bottom three. It’s the last of those winless games which will sting the most as they threw away a 2-0 lead to draw 2-2 against Napoli on Wednesday, which is perhaps no great surprise given their 30 goals conceded this season is a joint-league high. Things seem unlikely to get better at home either, where Verona have won just two of their last 22 games in all competitions (D8, L12).  [/p]
[p]Lazio are starting to drift down the table after their weak run was stretched to just one win in their last seven league matches (D4, L2) following a 2-2 draw against Fiorentina in midweek. With a yawning gap to the European places, the visitors will be desperate for all three points here, and Maurizio Sarri’s side look well placed to live up to their billing as pre-match favourites having lost just once against sides starting this round in the bottom half (W5, D4). Seven clean sheets therein highlight Lazio’s biggest strength and their defensive solidity has contributed to a league-low four of their Serie A games this season seeing goals at both ends.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Lazio have dominated this H2H in recent years, going undefeated in each of the previous eight Serie A meetings (W5, D3), with their 4-0 win in the reverse fixture their fourth successive victory against Verona. [/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Verona’s last seven games featured over 2.5 goals.[/p]
[p]Verona have conceded the most goals beyond the 75th minute in Serie A (11). [/p]
[p]Lazio haven’t scored more than once in any of their last six away league games. [/p]
[p]Eleven of Lazio’s 19 league games this season stood level at half-time (HT: W5, L3).[/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Verona forward Gift Orban converted from the penalty spot in midweek, with four of his last five goals this season arriving before the hour mark. Lazio’s Mattia Zaccagni, ironically the most fouled player in the division (61), is looking to avoid a third yellow card in as many matches here. [/p]
[p]While Verona aren’t reporting any fresh injury issues, Lazio could be sweating on Manuel Lazzari after he was forced off against Fiorentina. [/p]
