After an inconsistent start to the season, Lazio will seek their second Serie A home win when they host Hellas Verona on Monday.

Lazio:

Lazio will be aiming to secure their second Serie A home victory of the season when they face Hellas Verona on Monday. The match takes place at the Stadio Olimpico, where Lazio has experienced a mixed start to the campaign. Despite an initial victory against Venezia, Lazio struggled to build on that momentum, notably drawing 2-2 with AC Milan before the international break. The hosts were on course for a win against the Rossoneri, leading 2-1 with 20 minutes remaining, but late goals from Milan’s Rafael Leao and the striking duo of Taty Castellanos and Boulaye Dia prevented them from claiming all three points. However, Lazio remains unbeaten in their last seven home games in Serie A, a streak not seen since late 2021. New manager Marco Baroni, who was appointed amidst some skepticism, has steadied the ship and now faces his former club Verona, before preparing for Lazio’s Europa League opener against Dynamo Kiev later this month. Historically, Lazio has had a strong record against Verona, scoring in all but one of their last 21 league encounters with them and winning 11 of their last 16 Serie A home matches against the Gialloblu.

Hellas Verona:

On the other hand, Hellas Verona will be looking to continue their promising start to the season as they visit the Stadio Olimpico. Under the guidance of new coach Paolo Zanetti, Verona has shown resilience and potential, having secured two wins from their first three matches before the international break. Their campaign began with an impressive 3-0 victory over Napoli, although they faced a setback with a 0-3 defeat to Juventus. They bounced back with a solid 2-0 win against Genoa. Stretching back to last season, when they were managed by Marco Baroni, Verona has won five of their last nine league fixtures. This solid form offers them hope as they aim to achieve their first win in their opening two Serie A away games. Despite their recent form, Verona has struggled historically against Lazio, with only one win in their last 16 away matches against the Biancocelesti. Nonetheless, their current form under Zanetti could provide the boost needed to challenge Lazio and possibly break this trend.
