Key stats
- Hellas Verona have won only two of their last five Serie A fixtures.

- Lazio have scored the joint-fewest goals in the top half of the table.
- The Biancocelesti have won nine points from as many away games this term.
Correct score prediction: Hellas Verona 1-1 Lazio
Hellas Verona’s streak of back-to-back wins in early December quickly turned sour, as AC Milan and Torino shipped three past them without reply, before Paolo Zanetti’s men held reigning champions Napoli to a 2-2 draw at Stadio San Paolo.
Lazio haven’t been in their best form as well, with Spanish veteran Pedro salvaging a point for the Biancocelesti with a stoppage-time strike in a 2-2 draw to deny Fiorentina a rare victory. The draw marked their third such result in four winless outings, with their last triumph dating back to a month ago against Parma.
Using the home advantage to their favour, Hellas Verona could very well keep Lazio at bay. A draw is the most probable outcome for this fixture in the north of Italy.

Player to watch: Gift Orban
Across Verona’s last four matches, Orban has netted three strikes, including a first-half penalty in a 2-2 draw versus reigning champions Napoli and a match-winning brace against low-lying Fiorentina. The 23-year-old Hoffenheim loanee is the Gialloblu’s best chance of finding the back of the net, with Lazio’s defensive work rate falling short across their last three outings.
