Hellas Verona vs Lazio Betting Tips: Draw

Despite enduring months of performance issues, we are of the opinion that Hellas Verona, fueled by the unwavering support of their faithful fans, may at least secure a point against Lazio. Lazio’s recent achievements may not accurately reflect their actual performance on the field.

With 10 points and just below the danger line, Marco Baroni’s team is entering Saturday’s match following two consecutive enthralling performances. They first secured a 2-2 draw against Lecce, and then split the points in a thrilling six-goal match, which ended 3-3 in their away game against Udinese last weekend.

The Mastiffs have been on a four-month quest for success since their last victory, which was a 2-1 win against Roma on matchday two. Encouraged by their impressive attacking displays in their last two games where they scored nearly half of their 12 goals this season, they should approach this Saturday’s game with confidence.

The visiting side arrives in the city famous for Romeo and Juliet, having dominated in three matches since returning from the November international break. This includes a narrow midweek victory against Serie A newcomers, Genoa, which launched them into the Round of 16 in the Coppa Italia. Notably, they have not conceded any goals in these matches.

Despite achieving satisfactory results, there’s a prevalent sense that Maurizio Sarri’s team is far from the excellent form they displayed last season when they were runners-up in the highest level of Calcio.

Furthermore, the Biancocelesti’s goal production has been quite low in recent weeks. They have only managed to score four times in their last three matches across various competitions, suggesting a lack of precision when facing the opponent’s goal.

At this point, supporting a win for the away team doesn’t appear to be a smart strategic move, particularly given the Romans’ recent struggles on the road. They have suffered losses in three straight away matches against Feyenoord, Bologna, and surprisingly, Salernitana, a team that’s currently at the bottom.

Keeping all this in mind, we reckon Verona’s drought for success in the Italian top-flight could stretch to 13 league games, yet they should also be able to secure a point against Lazio, who, besides their goal-scoring struggles, has faced dismal results in their recent away ventures.
