Verona-Lazio is a match valid for the fifteenth day of Serie A and is played on Saturday at 3:00 pm: odds, predictions, TV, streaming.
Maurizio Sarri seems to have made the Allegrian concept of “short snout” his own. His Lazio is getting used to 1-0 victories: after the one with Cagliari in the league, Genoa also had to surrender narrowly to the biancocelesti in the round of 16 of the Coppa Italia.
And if against Ranieri’s Sardinians, last Saturday, it was Pedro who decided the match, against the Ligurians it was one of the new signings, Guendouzi, who gave the Capitolini the passage to the round of the cup (and a possible third derby of the season with Roma). The former Arsenal and Marseille midfielder is one of those who is keeping afloat a Lazio side that despite the wins continues to be unconvincing, in many ways. Despite their fourth clean sheet in the last five games, Immobile and his teammates are struggling and do not even remotely resemble the brilliant team of last year. The standings, after all, speak for themselves: Lazio is only ninth, with four points to make up on fourth place and the pair formed by Roma and Napoli. Among the few satisfactions had by Sarri and his men in this first part is the qualification to the Champions League knockout stage, reached with a day in advance.
Now the Tuscan coach goes in search of his first away success in over a month. In the first of Saturday’s early matches, he will be on the scene in Verona.Marco Baroni, who has been at risk of being relieved for a few weeks now, seems to have found a way to turn the attack, which scored a total of five goals against Lecce and Udinese (2-2 and 3-3), around after the last break.
Verona-Lazio: the latest lineup news
Baroni will not make many changes compared to the match with Udinese, in which his team avoided defeat only at the last gasp. Without Hien, Saponara, Magnani and Dawidowicz, the Gialloblù coach will confirm Tchatchoua and Suslov in place of Faraoni and Suslov. In attack is Djuric, preferred once again to Bonazzoli.

The injury emergency at Lazio continues: Sarri rejoins both Casale and Zaccagni – the former will go on the bench, the latter could start from 1′ – but loses Isaksen and Patric. Forced choices in defense, where Marusic could play in the center paired with Gila. His place, on the left, will instead be taken by Hysaj. Romagnoli out and Luis Alberto in strong doubt.
The prediction
Verona has managed to avoid defeat three times in the last 4 previous meetings with Lazio and on all three occasions both teams scored. After the break, the Scaligeri seem to be a bit better even if the standings remain precarious and victory has been missing since August: that of the “Bentegodi” is, in short, an away match that can hide more than one trap for a Lazio that struggles even more away from home. It would not be a surprise if Baroni’s team manages to score at least one goal.
Verona-Lazio likely lineups
VERONA (4-2-3-1): Montipò; Tchatchoua, Amione, Coppola, Terracciano; Folorunsho, Duda; Ngonge, Suslov, Lazovic; Djuric.
LAZIO (4-3-3): Provedel; Lazzari, Marusic, Gila, Hysaj; Guendouzi, Rovella, Kamada; Felipe Anderson, Immobile, Zaccagni.
