Hellas Verona vs Lazio: Recent History

It’s not been a positive season so far for Hellas Verona, who currently sit 18th in the Serie A table after 20 games. The team have only picked up 13 points from three wins and four draws, putting them at serious risk of relegation.

The Gialloblu have already had three coaches at the helm this season – Gabriele Cioffi started the campaign but was dismissed in early October and replaced by Salvatore Bocchetti, who himself was fired in December and replaced by Marco Zaffaroni.

Lazio have put on some good displays in 2023, flying to a thrilling 4-0 win over defending champions Milan and grinding out a 2-0 victory over Sassuolo last month. The team were eliminated in the Coppa Italia quarter-finals by Juventus but will still be feeling confident as they look to fight for a top four finish.

When Hellas Verona and Lazio met back in September, the Biancocelesti had no trouble in a 2-0 win, with goals from Ciro Immobile and Luis Alberto securing the three points.
