Igor Tudor’s Lazio will be looking to continue their European charge with a win over a Hellas Verona side in the midst of a relegation battle.

The match between the Biancocelesti and the Gialloblu kicks off at 19.45 UK time at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

Lazio have shown a number of positives following the arrival of Tudor last month, winning four of their six matches under the Croatian tactician. The momentum could be key as the Roman club fight for a spot in European competition.

The Biancocelesti are without the injured Ivan Provedel, Mario Gila and Manuel Lazzari.

Hellas Verona find themselves in the thick of a relegation battle, sitting 15th in the table with 31 points, just three ahead of 18th place Udinese and five ahead of Sassuolo, who are on the cusp of dropping down to Serie B.

The Gialloblu cannot count on Juan Manuel Cruz, who is out injured, and Pawel Dawidowicz, who is working off a muscle issue.

When these two teams met back in December, Hellas Verona held Lazio to a 1-1 draw after goals from Mattia Zaccagni and Thomas Henry.
