Lazio vs Verona Prediction & Betting tips
The catch-up game of the 17th game round between Lazio and Verona provides an exciting starting point: The home side are going through a very strong season and are in a three-way battle for the title with Inter and Juve.
Although there was only a recent draw in the derby against Roma and a cup defeat in Naples, with a 5-1 home win over SPAL last Sunday afternoon, “Le Aquile” confidently dispelled any doubts about the form. The guests present themselves as robust as promoters. There has been no defeat in six match days.
The Lazio Rome vs. Verona Tip includes a two-way goal and less than five goals in the game. The hosts have the best offensive in the league and, with Ciro Immobile, the current top scorer. At the same time, the defensive is no longer as solid as before.
No clean sheet has been obtained in the last four competitive games. Furthermore, Verona has a series of attacks that has improved in the meantime and has not been scored in only one out of ten guest appearances.
At the same time, another goal scoring festival is not expected – with an average of 2.3 goals per game, the visiting team has the lowest goal rate of all Serie A representatives thanks to a stable line of defense. The Lazio Rome – Verona forecast is played with three units.
Lazio Rome:
The Biancocelesti celebrated their 120th anniversary almost a month ago. From a sporting point of view, there are currently numerous occasions for further celebrations. The capitals have established themselves alongside Inter Milan as the most persistent pursuer of the series champion Juventus.
The Eagles have been unbeaten for 16 days. Especially at home, the two-time champion of the country hardly allows anything: only the “old lady” has not yet lost a match in front of his own audience. Nine wins and two draws are the strongest home record in Serie A.
Add to that the best storm in the top Italian division. Ciro Immobile again plays a decisive part in this balance sheet. 25 goals in 21 league appearances give the 29-year-old first place in the goalscoring classification. The international only missed two of the eleven league home games of the white-blue team this season.
On top of that, he delivered a double pack against the Ferrara team last weekend. This was the seventh time in league operations and in addition Immobile even scored a hat trick a week ago. Numbers that make its form strength clear this season.
Coach Simone Inzaghi, who was still chasing goals in his active time for Lazio, can currently be very satisfied with his attacking department. However, like last weekend, the troupe from the Parioli district will have to do without Joaquin Correa. The striker is missing due to a calf injury from the recent derby with the AS.
Verona:
The Gialloblu only slipped as the winners of the playoffs for promotion to Serie A. But in contrast to the other newcomers Brescia and Lecce, who each rank in the absolute table basement, Hellas Verona does very well.
In ninth place is the eleven of the 44-year-old coach Ivan Juris, who took office last summer after the promotion. Apparently he found a very intact team that met the demands of the Italian upper house.
You won’t find any better known names in the squad, but the team presents itself as a conspiratorial unit on the pitch. The showpiece is undoubtedly the defensive. With 23 goals conceded, it has the fourth best value in Serie A. Performance has also stabilized away from home.
Eight out of twelve season points abroad have been scored in the recent six guest appearances. In addition, even the top clubs have so far failed to beat I Mastini. Whether Inter, Juve or Atalanta Bergamo – Verona always had to give up one goal.
In the encounter between Lazio and Verona, the odds for a close home win with a goal of difference on top are therefore of interest. In contrast to the strong back team mentioned, the offensive appeared little for a long time. But since a few rounds of play, she’s been cranking up.
Twelve of the 26 goals this season have been scored in the last six league games. With this result, the master from 1985 is on par with top clubs such as Juve or Inter. The flat hierarchy within the team structure is also very clear in the attack department.
Five players share the first place in the internal scorer scoring with three goals each! Another record-breaking fact is that 13 players in the squad have already registered in the goal scorers list. However, 26 hits this season are only an average value.
For comparison: Ciro Immobile from the upcoming opponent alone achieves a result of just one goal less as described. The Moroccan Sofyan Amrabat can also not appear. The 23-year-old came from the Belgian champions Club Brugge last summer from the Belgian Jupiler League.
In the recent 1-1 draw against Milan, the midfielder got a red card, which is why the international of his country is now missing.
