The Tudor cure is slowly starting to pay off, and Lazio, thanks in part to the fact that this year’s fifth as well will get a pass to the cup with big ears, is back to believing in Champions League qualification. The biancocelesti bounced back in a big way after the derby defeat, beating first the bottom-of-the-table Salernitana and then defeating one of the most hostile stadiums, Marassi, with the “disgruntled” Luis Alberto – a few days earlier he had said he wanted to rescind – decisive in the challenge with Genoa (0-1).
Six points that allowed Lazio to consolidate seventh place but above all to still hope to catch up with fifth-placed Roma, which, however, has six more points. In the week, however, an excellent performance was not enough to retake Juventus in the Coppa Italia. The dream of clinching the final faded with seven minutes left in the return semifinal. Milik’s goal prevented the Capitolini from dragging the challenge to extra time, and the 2-1 victory (a brace from a wild Castellanos) was in vain since Massimiliano Allegri’s team had won 2-0 in the first leg. Tudor wants to turn the page right away and in this round of the championship he will find again a piece of his past, that Verona that he managed to bring to safety two years ago relaunching his career.
The scaligeri have just obtained a very precious success (1-0) in the direct clash with Udinese (Coppola’s goal at 93′) taking another step toward a salvation that in January seemed utopia after selling off practically half the squad.
Lazio-Verona: latest lineup news
In Lazio’s home side, the only injured players are Gila, Lazzari and Provedel. Felipe Anderson and Kamada are back available instead, complicating the choices of Tudor, who should deploy the Brazilian alongside Luis Alberto in the three-quarter behind Castellanos.
On the other side, Baroni will confirm Centonze on the right defensive out while the re-established Dawidowicz will initially sit on the bench. On the three-quarter Suslov, Folorunsho and Lazovic behind Noslin.
The prediction
Two consecutive draws in the last precedents between Lazio and Verona, with the Gialloblù not getting the better of the Biancocelesti since October 2021 (at the Olimpico instead since the year before). Tudor’s team could pay for the midweek effort but this is perhaps one of the last chances to reinsert themselves in the Champions League fight and the Croatian coach will do everything to take advantage of it, on the heels of the two successes with Salernitana and Genoa. The Scaligeri, who have not been without a goal since February, will sell their skins dearly and should manage to pierce the Lazio rearguard on at least one occasion.
The probable lineups of Lazio-Verona
LAZIO (3-4-2-1): Mandas; Casale, Romagnoli, Patric; Hysaj, Guendouzi, Cataldi, Marusic; Luis Alberto, Felipe Anderson; Castellanos.
VERONA (4-2-3-1): Montipò; Centonze, Magnani, Coppola, Cabal; Duda, Serdar; Suslov, Folorunsho, Lazovic; Noslin.
POSSIBLE RESULT: 2-1
