Hellas Verona vs Lazio Prediction
Paolo Zanetti’s Hellas Verona come into this one on the back of a 2-0 defeat to league leaders Napoli at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona last weekend due to an own goal and a strike from Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa. The home team sit just outside of the bottom three and the relegation places. They now face a Lazio side that most recently shared a 1-1 draw with Como at the Olimpico last weekend with the visitors now having managed just one win in their last five matches as they fall away from the Serie A title race. Verona will sense fragility so may well attack, whilst Lazio will look to assert themselves so both teams scoring looks a good bet for this one.
