After two humiliating defeats, Verona will look to get back to form when they meet Lazio at home in the last match of the round in Serie A.
The hosts looked pretty good in the beginning of the season, but the last two games were a disaster for the Verona outfit – a 1-3 home loss to AC Milan followed by a 2-6 destruction at the hands of Napoli. Defense is clearly a big problem for the hosts, especially lately and this is not good news ahead of a clash against an opponent who is scoring for fun at the moment. Verona sists on the 12th place in the standings right now.
Lazio is in blistering form, winning 4 games on the spin, scoring at least 2 goals in each of those victories. The last match was the tightest in this 4 win streak, but Lazio managed to eventually come out on top 2-1 against a strong Torino side. Things are looking good for the visitors and a win today will see them climbing to the 3rd place in the standings.

Team news & lineups
Verona will have to do without Marques, Sala and Obaddi, while Lazio will miss Gentiletti, Basta, Keita and possibly Mauri. The visitors are expected to field the exact same lineup that defeated Torino last round, with Klose again coming on from the bench.
Verona: Rafael – Martic, Moras, Marquez, Agostini – Halfredsson, Tachtsidis, Ionita – Lopez, Toni, Gomez
Lazio: Marchetti – Cavanda, Ciani, De Vrij, Radu – Parolo, Biglia, Lulic – Candreva, Djordjevic, Anderson
Everything seems to be pointing towards a Lazio win in a high scoring clash, but I`m not so sure about that. Verona is a very good side and after the humiliation against Napoli they are sure to be more careful today, also focusing on putting on a better defensive performance. Home court advantage will count a lot as well for a team that usually delivers at its own stadium, especially with Lazio being more of a home team themselvesl. Look for Lazio’s run to end today, a trip to Verona won`t be easy for anybody – but on the other hand it`s highly unlikely that Lazio will lose, after all they are playing great football and are the better team overall. My tip is the draw, surely there`s solid value in the odds. Prediction: Hellas Verona – Lazio Roma 1-1.
