Lazio Form Guide: Recent Results & Table Position
With four wins from their last five Serie A fixtures, Lazio remain in contention for a Champions League berth, especially with Italy clinching a fifth place for next term. The Biancocelesti currently sit seventh in the table with 52 points, keeping AS Roma and Atalanta within striking distance.
The capital side collected routine wins over Salernitana and Genoa in their last two league outings, so they should be the favorites to prevail over Verona who are embroiled in a relegation dogfight. However, it remains to be seen how well the squad will manage to physically and mentally recover from their Coppa Italia elimination which only ensued on Tuesday.
Hellas Verona Form Guide: Recent Results & Table Position
Despite a January exodus that left him with a depleted squad, Marco Baroni has sensationally managed to keep Hellas Verona afloat. The Gialloblu have been residing in the relegation zone for the majority of the campaign, but currently enjoy a 15th position with 31 points following a dramatic last-gasp victory over Udinese last weekend.
At this stage, every point is invaluable for Verona. So we can expect them to put on a courageous display at the back to try and escape the Olimpico with a point in hand.
