Verona vs Lazio Prediction 11 January 2026
📢 Can Verona secure points in the upcoming clash? In Serie A's 20th round, the "Mastiffs" host the "Eagles" at the Marc Antonio Bentegodi. Both teams have struggled to deliver wins for their fans recently: Verona are winless in three consecutive matches, while Lazio haven't tasted victory in four. Despite having different but equally pressing goals, the stakes are high for both sides: the hosts are fighting to retain their top-flight status, while the visitors aim for European qualification. Both teams need points, ensuring there will be no lack of intensity on the pitch.
Head-to-Head
📊 In the head-to-head clashes between Verona and Lazio over recent years, the Roman side holds the advantage: out of 30 matches, the "Eagles" have claimed victory 17 times, while Verona have managed just 6 wins, with 7 encounters ending in a draw. In the first round of the current season, Lazio didn't even notice their opponents, thrashing the "Mastiffs" 4-0, with the outcome virtually sealed in the first half when three of the four goals were scored.
Head-to-head statistics Verona - Lazio
Hellas Verona Team Overview
🔵 Verona have had a disappointing first half of the season. The team ended the first round in 18th place, collecting just 13 points (with one game in hand). They are three points away from the safe 17th spot. While the gap might seem small, overcoming it is quite challenging given their current form: Verona have managed to secure only one point in their last three matches.
🟡 The recent game against Napoli (2-2) might be the turning point. On January 7th, the Mastiffs managed to take points from the reigning champions on the road, despite most predictions pointing towards a clear defeat. Verona pleasantly surprised with their start, leading by two goals by the 27th minute. However, after the break, the difference in class showed as the hosts equalized. Even so, securing a point in Naples is a commendable result and could very well boost the team's confidence moving forward.
Match Results: Hellas Verona
Lazio Rome Team Overview
🔵 4 - that's the number of consecutive matches Lazio have failed to win. Even at the start of the season, when the team was clearly struggling, the Eagles didn't experience such an extended winless streak. In the standings, the Romans still hold the ninth spot with 25 points, but their gap from the European competition zone (top 6) is rapidly expanding - it's now eight points.
⚪ What's particularly concerning is that during this period, Lazio faced relatively manageable opponents, aside from the match against Napoli (0-2). However, the Eagles couldn't capitalize on their schedule. For instance, in the last round, they failed to defeat Fiorentina (2-2) at home, a team enduring a tough season and languishing in the relegation zone. Moreover, Lazio only avoided defeat thanks to a penalty in the 90+5th minute - without that moment, the situation for the hosts would have looked even bleaker.

Latest news
Hellas Verona
📣 Paolo Zanetti praised his team's character after the 2-2 draw with Napoli: "I'm not surprised by the team's reaction; going 2-0 up at the Maradona is a testament to the players' character and personality. It's a pity that Giovane's final chip didn't go in-3-2 would have given us a truly golden three points. But even a draw remains an important result. We need to keep believing in ourselves and work on the details."
🚫 Verona face squad limitations ahead of their match. Rafiq Belghali is away on international duty and won't be available for the club. Tomas Suslov remains sidelined as he continues his recovery from an ACL injury. There's also uncertainty over Jean-Daniel Akpa-Akpro's participation-he's dealing with a muscle issue, and a decision on his involvement will be made closer to the game.
Lazio Rome
📣 After a 2-2 home draw with Fiorentina, Maurizio Sarri remained composed but clearly expressed his dissatisfaction with several incidents: "Let's leave the topic of referees aside. In the first half, the team played at a very high level, and it's a shame we went into the break at 0-0. In the second half, our energy waned, but losing this match would have been scandalous. All the key moments went against us-these things happen. It's a transitional season, but our playing philosophy remains intact."
🚫 Lazio are also not at full strength. Boulaye Dia and Fisayo Dele-Bashiru are still engaged in international duties and won't be available for the team. Additionally, Patric and Samuel Gigot remain sidelined as they continue their recovery from muscle injuries and will not feature in the upcoming match. Mattia Zaccagni is out due to an accumulation of yellow cards.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
The four goals scored against Verona in the first round (4-0) seem to be more of an exception than the norm, as Lazio have been playing much more conservatively this season and generally scoring less. This is particularly evident in their recent matches-"the Eagles" managed to score a maximum of one goal in 7 out of their last 8 games, and only in their most recent match against Fiorentina (2-2) did they score exactly two goals, with the second coming late from a penalty. Therefore, we are betting on Lazio's total under 1.5 goals.
🚩 Corner Prediction
This season, Lazio have not been known for their attacking prowess, which is directly reflected in the number of set pieces-they average 3.9 corners per match. Additionally, "the Eagles" rarely hit high corner counts on the road: Lazio's total under 4.5 corners has occurred in 6 out of their last 7 away games in Serie A, making this betting option the most logical choice.
Editorial Prediction
According to the bookmakers, Lazio are slight favorites in the upcoming clash, but we beg to differ. The Eagles are going through a rough patch, having failed to secure a win in their last four matches, and those opponents were no tougher than the current Verona side. Even with home support, Lazio could only manage a draw against Fiorentina (2-2), while the Mastiffs defeated them away (2-1). Additionally, Verona's away draw with Napoli (2-2) should boost their confidence-they demonstrated resilience and the ability to snatch points even against top-tier teams. Therefore, our main bet is Verona will not lose. We anticipate a 1-1 scoreline on the board.
