Lazio vs Hellas Verona Prediction & Betting Tips - Serie A

Prediction published on 27/04/2024, 06:23  by Sridhar in Serie A Predictions

Lazio will look to boost their chances of Champions League qualification as they face bottom-half side Verona in this weekend’s Seria A clash. Stadio Olimpico will play host on Saturday as the hosts start the matchday in the seventh spot with 52 points, while the visitors are 15th with 31 points. Lazio defeated Juventus 2-1 in the second leg of the Coppa Italia but crashed out 3-2 on aggregate. Nevertheless, they have won three games in a row and five of their last seven, giving themselves a good chance to push for a Champions League berth. With Serie A now granting five spots for the Champions League and another likely if Roma or Atalanta win the Europa League, Lazio will look to stay in the hunt for a place in the top-six. Lazio are just three points behind the top-four ahead of this matchday and have won their last three home games, so don’t count them out of this.

Verona start this matchday three points above the bottom-three, and as such, they aren’t yet out of trouble. They won 1-0 against the Udinese in their last match to give themselves a good boost. That was their third win over the last seven league games, which also saw them draw twice. All three wins have come by a 1-0 score, while Verona have scored in each of those seven matches, giving them a distinct advantage in terms of momentum. They have certainly used that momentum away from home, remaining unbeaten in four of their last five away league games. This sequence saw them win once and draw three matches, with the only defeat in this run coming against Lecce.
