Head-to-Head
SS Lazio have won four of the last five Serie A meetings between the clubs, including a 4-0 rout just four months ago.
Hellas Verona (home)
- The Serie A 2025-2026 season is fast approaching the midway point and Hellas Verona have plenty of work to do to avoid the relegation battle after amassing just 12 points from 17 games and currently sitting 18th.
- Paolo Zanetti was brought in as Verona boss in June 2024 and has created a pragmatic squad that is flexible enough to adapt to different scenarios, but always play a high-tempo, transition-based style with an aggressive press and compact defensive block.
- They have only scored eight goals in eight home matches and conceded heavily, which is an indicator of how their season is going.
Lazio (away)
- Lazio, meanwhile, are in ninth with 24 points after 18 matches - double Verona’s tally - and are in the hunt for a European spot.
- The negative is that Lazio can be vulnerable to counter attacks when their full-backs push on and the Biancoceleste can be too predictable in their build-up play.
Key Players
Giovane Nascimento has been their playmaker, offering a creative spark from midfield with four assists in 17 Serie A appearances , and Gift Orban , with four goals in 14 Serie A games , has scored three of Verona’s last seven goals and is their most reliable source of goals.
Betting Insights
- Lazio are 2.32 favourites to win and that seems fair, while Verona are 3.58 to take all three points on Sunday.
- The 'Under 2.5 goals' option does appeal at 1.6 given the lack of goals in both of these teams’ games this campaign.
Prediction
Lazio’s away form has also been mediocre, but they have 1 win, 3 draws and 1 defeat in their last five Serie A matches and remain unbeaten in their last two road games , so we’re taking the visitors to squeeze past the hosts in what should be a low-scoring match between two disciplined tactical units.
