Our prediction for the match Lazio vs Verona
“The Eagles” sharply declined last season. The vice-champion of 2023 began to lose a lot of points from the very first rounds. The team managed to improve its performance only after the dismissal of Maurizio Sarri, eventually finishing in 7th position, which sent it to the Europa League. As for “the Mastiffs”, the club successfully bet on Baroni. And if a year earlier it defended the so-called “residence” thanks to a victory in the play-off match with Spezia, then it finished in 13th position in the spring with 38 points (only 3 points more than relegated Frosinone).
Marco moved to the capital of Italy. At the same time, “the White and Blues” were left without Immobile, who had left for Turkey (as well as Luis Alberto, Massimiliano, Felipe Anderson, Marcos Antonio, Cataldi, and a lot of others). On the other hand, Guendouzi was bought out, Castrovilli was signed, Nuno Tavares, Boulaye Dia and Gigot were rented. “The Hellas” are now coached by Paolo Zanetti. Having sold Cabal to Juventus for 12 million, the club bought out Serdar’s contract and signed Tchatchoua and young Magro and Sishuba, and issued a number of loans, including Oka, Kastanos and Bradaric. And the most expensive newcomer is the eccentric forward, Lambourde.
The club from the capital did not start in the best way. Having won against the newcomer, Venezia, it lost to Udinese. And the dispute with Milan ended with a spectacular 2-2 draw at the home arena. “The Mastiffs” managed to lose to Cesena in the cup game and to Juventus in the championship (0-2 and 0-3), but at the same time beat Napoli (3-0) and Genoa (2-0).
