Relegation battlers Hellas Verona will host Champions League aspirants Lazio in a Serie A fixture at Marcantonio Bentegodi on Monday. The previous meeting between these two sides was less than five months ago, which ended 2-0 in favour of Lazio, courtesy of second half strikes from Ciro Immobile and Luis Alberto. The white and Sky blues will be aiming for a first league-double over the Scaligeri since 2018. Meanwhile, the visitors are heading into the match on the back of a narrow 1-0 Coppa Italia defeat over Juventus in the midweek, while Verona played out a 1-1 draw against Udinese in the league last Monday.

After an stunning top flight win over reigning champions AC Milan (4-0), courtesy of goals from Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Zatia Zacagni, Luis Alberto and Felipe Anderson, Maurizio Sarri’s side were held to a 1-1 draw by fiorentina, before being knocked out of the Coppa Italia, after losing 1-0 in Turin. On Thursday, Gleison Bermer’s lone goal on the stroke of half-time was enough to separate the two sides at Allianz Stadium and hand a fourth straight quarter-final exit to the Eagles.
Verona, on the other hand, are going through a decent run of form, having pocketed eight points from their last five outings. Last time out, Marco Zaffaroni’s side earned a point against Udinese away from home. The Yellow and Blues took an early lead, courtesy of Rodrio Becao’s fourth-minute own goal, before Lazar Samardzic leveled the score for Udinese mid-way through the first half. A vastly improved defensive performance has been key to the Scaligers’s latest success. Lorezno Montipo has conceded just three times since the turn of the year.
Although there is a huge difference between these two sides in the standings, as Lazio is fighting for a Champions League spot, while Veroa is battling relegation, the last five meetings have seen both clubs winning two games each and one match ended in a 1-1 draw. Meanwhile when we look at the overall record, The White and Sky Blues are slightly ahead in the head-to-head, having won 27 times, compared to 20 by Verona.
