Hellas Verona vs Lazio Betting Tips: Draw
Even though they have been hit by results issues for months, we believe that Hellas Verona, driven by the strong support of their loyal fans, could at least get a point against Lazio whose recent successes paint an inaccurate picture of their performance on the pitch.
Positioned just below the danger line with 10 points to their name, the team led by Marco Baroni heads into Saturday's battle on the back of two consecutive captivating performances, first securing a 2-2 draw against Lecce and then sharing the points in a rollercoaster six-goal encounter, ending 3-3 in their away clash with Udinese last weekend.
While their quest for success has stretched over four months, since their last victory came on matchday two against Roma with a 2-1 score, the Mastiffs, encouraged by impressive attacking displays in their last two outings where they scored five goals—almost half of their 12 this term—should take to the field boldly this Saturday.
As for the visiting side, they arrive in the city of Romeo and Juliet after triumphing in each of their three matches with a clean sheet since returning from the November international break, including a narrow midweek victory against Serie A newcomers Genoa that propelled them into the Round of 16 in the Coppa Italia.
In spite of achieving results that may be deemed satisfactory, there's an overwhelming feeling that Maurizio Sarri's squad is currently lightyears away from the splendid form they showcased as the runners-up in the top tier of Calcio last season.
Moreover, the goal production has been minimal for the Biancocelesti in recent weeks, considering they have found the back of the net only four times in their last three outings across different competitions, indicating a lack of sharpness in front of the opponent's goal.
At this juncture, backing an away victory doesn't seem like a tactically astute move, especially considering that the Romans have recently endured miseries on the road, succumbing to defeats in three consecutive away fixtures against Feyenoord, Bologna, and the shocking loss to Salernitana, a team situated in the basement.
Keeping all this in mind, we reckon Verona's drought for success in the Italian top-flight could stretch to 13 league games, yet they should also be able to secure a point against Lazio, who, besides their goal-scoring struggles, has faced dismal results in their recent away ventures.

Hellas Verona team news
Astonishingly, Marco Baroni is still the man in charge at Verona, but his job security might be determined by a positive outcome in Saturday's clash against the capital club, with the striking tandem of Cyril Ngonge and Milan Djuric – instrumental in four of Mastini's last five goals – expected to headline the attacking unit.
Otherwise, the club from the city of Romeo and Juliet is hosting Roma without the services of the injured defensive trio Isak Hien, Giangiacomo Magnani, and Pawel Dawidowicz, while Riccardo Saponara and Jayden Braaf are also sidelined due to injury concerns.

Lazio team news
Despite narrowly clinching a 1-0 victory over Genoa midweek, securing their spot in the final eight of the Coppa Italia, coach Maurizio Sarri received discouraging news during the match, as both Patric and Gustav Isaksen exited the field due to hamstring issues, casting doubt on their availability for Saturday.
While Luis Alberto might be available for the visit to the city of love this weekend, having missed the Tuesday clash, it appears that the starting center-backs Alessio Romagnoli and Nicolo Casale are guaranteed to remain sidelined.
