Verona take on the visitors Lazio in the round 30 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Monday, March 31st at Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi (Verona).
Verona have gradually adapted to Serie A, shedding their reputation as a yo-yo club bouncing between divisions. However, their primary objective remains the same: securing top-flight survival year after year. At one point, they had to beat Spezia in a relegation playoff just to claim 17th place. Against that backdrop, last season was a relative success—38 points were enough to finish as high as 13th. However, the man behind that achievement, Marco Baroni, left for a bigger challenge at Lazio. His replacement, Paolo Zanetti, has done a solid job, leading the team to their ninth victory last weekend with a 1-0 win over Udinese. With 29 points, Verona currently sits 14th, seven points clear of Empoli, the best-placed team in the relegation zone. Another win here would further strengthen their safety cushion.

Parma is finally back in Serie a but not yet safe. Despite their rich yet turbulent history, the Crusaders spent an extended period stuck in Italy’s second tier. It took Fabio Pecchia two attempts to finally lead them back to Serie A. However, his top-flight tenure lasted just over half a season, as a poor run culminating in four straight defeats cost him his job in mid-February. He was replaced by Cristian Chivu, who made a promising start with a 2-0 win over Bologna. After a narrow 1-0 loss to Udinese, Parma then picked up draws against Torino and Monza. As a result, they currently sit in 16th place, but their cushion over 18th-placed Empoli is just three points. Given their recent struggles in attack, they cannot afford another slip-up.
These teams last met in Serie A during the 2020/21 season, exchanging victories. When they finally faced off again earlier this season, Hellas Verona edged out a thrilling 3-2 away win.
The Mastiffs understand how crucial it is to secure a home victory against a direct rival. Back Paolo Zanetti’s side to claim all three points at the Bentegodi.
Prediction for the match: Verona to win.
