Verona drew 1-1 in the last round and now has only 13 points, with a lot of relegation pressure. However, since the new manager Zaffaroni took over, the team got 8 points from 5 league matches with 2 wins and 2 draws in the new year, only 0-1 loss to
The team has only conceded 3 goals in 5 matches, all of which have been on the road. Verona's form, therefore, has improved significantly with the new manager. In the winter window transfer, Verona lost such midfield and backfield mainstays as Ilic and Gunther, but at the same time brought in a number of important players, including midfielder Duda, Celtic midfielder Abilgao, Mo Army midfielder Gage, and youngster Brave. With all of these newcomers on tonight's roster, Verona's midfield strength has improved considerably. On the injured side, Veloso and Faraoni continue, and starting left back Doig returns from injury.
Lazio's biggest trouble was the fact that the team played basically all of its starters in the midweek cup, but the team lost 0-1 to Tuscany
Out of the race. Although in Serie A, Lazio has a strong motivation to fight for the top 4, and the war spirit is full. But a week of double matches and playing two consecutive away games are difficult for the Blue Eagles. In addition, since Immobile's previous injury was a muscle strain, he only played 45 minutes in the Coppa Italia in midweek, and Sarri has not dared to overuse the team's top player. It's not hard to foresee that tonight's visit to Verona, Immobile will still be careful to play the game. The player who scored the most goals for Lazio is Verona's oldest player, and this is his first time visiting Verona's home field after transferring, so the home fans are bound to boo the oldest player, which is not friendly to the player's own play.
