The 2021-22 Serie A campaign comes to an end this weekend and will see Lazio host Hellas Verona at the Stadio Olimpico on Saturday night.

The Biancocelesti sit fifth in the league table with 63 points picked up so far. Their season is practically over and they will now be looking to bow out with a win.
Hellas Verona were on the hunt for Europe at one stage of the season but ran out of steam and are now set for yet another mid-table league finish. They lost 1-0 to Torino last time out in a closely contested affair at the Marc Antonio Bentegodi.
The away side sit ninth in the league table, with 52 points from 37 games. They will be looking to shake off their latest result and end their campaign on a high.
