It's a reunion with added stakes as Marco Baroni returns to the Marcantonio Bentegodi, where he masterminded a remarkable campaign with Hellas Verona before moving to Lazio over the summer. This weekend, his struggling Roman outfit faces a challenging trip to the Veneto region in what's been dubbed the "Marco Baroni derby."
Verona come into the match after a 2-0 setback against Napoli on Sunday, but they remain just above the drop zone by a slender one-point margin. Lazio, on the other hand, endured a frustrating 1-1 stalemate against Como last Friday, a game marred by Loum Tchaouna's red card early in the second half for picking up a second yellow.
Despite a few injuries and suspensions, Baroni will be eager to see his side rebound against his former club. Verona boasts an unbeaten record in their last three home games against the Biancocelesti, adding another layer of intrigue to this encounter.
