Match Time & Date:

18:00
Prediction: 1-2
Lazio
Verona and Lazio square off against each other at Stadio Marc’Antonio Bentegodi in what is expected to be an interesting Serie A game. The Mastini aim to make amends for a 2-0 loss to Napoli, but they will have yet another big fish to fry against the Biancocelesti. Defender Domagoj Bradaric is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while both Suat Serdar and Jackson Tchatchoua are back from suspension.
The capital club, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 1-1 draw with Como, but it has to be noted that all Taty Castellanos, Mario Gila, and Mattia Zaccagni missed the game through suspension. The trio is back to contention and seeing that Verona suit Lazio, we predict that Marco Baroni’s men are going to pick up all three points from the match. Earlier this term, Lazio recorded a 2-1 win over Verona in “The Eternal City”. Forward Loum Tchaouna misses out through suspension following his sending-off in the draw with Como.
