Lazio vs Verona Predictions

• At least three goals have been scored in three of Lazio’s last four home games
• At least three goals have been scored in three of Verona’s last five Serie A matches
• Valentin Castellanos scored twice against Juventus in midweek and could have had two more

Lazio could be vulnerable to Verona

Lazio could be vulnerable to a Hellas Verona side that have been hard to beat when they attempt to bounce back from their Coppa Italia semi-final exit on Saturday.

Igor Tudor’s side will have a lot of regrets following a sensational second leg at Stadio Olimpico in which they quickly drew level on aggregate with the Old Lady after two goals from Taty Castellanos.

But the marksman from Mendoza should have put the issue beyond doubt when spurning two further opportunities, both one one-on-ones with the keeper, before Arek Milik’s late poacher’s strike saw Juve through 3-2.

Tudor is opening up the taps 

Tudor is beginning to put his stamp on the team just over a month after taking over from Maurizio Sarri. A side struggling to score under the ex-Chelsea boss has now notched seven times in their last three games – all of which were wins.

But Lazio put so much into Tuesday’s tie that it may be hard for Tudor to extract similar performance levels from them against Verina, even if he makes changes to freshen up the line-up.

Verona are fighting a relegation battle and got a crucial three points at home to Udinese last weekend. That 1-0 win went against the grain of recent Verona matches, however, and this clash should offer plenty of scope to go over 2.5 goals – as three of Lazio’s last four matches have done.
