Lazio hosts Hellas Verona in the 28th round of the Italian Serie A.
Lazio is the most in form team in the league, winning 5 consecutive games in Serie A. They play better and better football each round as it can be seen from the latest results … 3-0 at Sassuolo, 4-0 vs. Fiorentina and 2-0 at Torino. Hosts have reached the 3rd place in the standings, the last Champions League position, but the fight is still very hard and Lazio can finish anywhere between 2nd and 6th place. For Lazio this is a must win game … a victory would put huge pressure on Roma who only has 1 point in front. Hosts have a full squad to choose from except from Djordjevic and Pereirinha could also miss.

Verona did not lose in the last 4 matches and played very good football considering the opponents they met … Milan, Roma or Napoli. Last round Verona beat Napoli 2-0, a surprising thing was they did not allow a goal. It was the first clean sheet for Verona since January. The visitors have problems in the defensive area but their salvation is the offense, they can score a lot of goals … in the last 11 matches they failed to score only at Juventus. Rafa Marquez, Sala and Gomez are unavailable … Ionita is highly questionable.
I think Lazio has the power and the form to win this game, but I think they will concede a goal. Verona is scoring in almost every game, they scored in very hard away matches vs. Juventus, Napoli, Inter, Milan, etc … failed to score away from home only 4 times this season in all competitions. I will bet on the under / over market and pick the over 2,5 goals. On a good day Lazio can cover this by themselves with a 3-0, but Verona has every chance to get one on counters. My tip will be over 2,5 goals. Correct score prediction: Lazio – Verona 3-1.
