Lazio

WDWDDL

Lazio will be hoping to bounce back here after a 0-2 Serie A defeat in their last game at the hands of SSC Napoli.

In that match, Lazio managed 35% possession and 5 attempts at goal with 0 on target. Napoli had 14 attempts on goal with 3 of them on target. Leonardo Spinazzola (13') and Amir Rrahmani (32') scored for SSC Napoli.

Lazio have really struggled up front of late. Their ‘goals for’ figure equals just 4 against opponents over their last 6 fixtures. In those meetings, Lazio have also seen the tally of goals scored against them total 4. That kind of pattern isn’t assured to follow through into this next game, of course.

A look at their previous results shows us that Lazio:

• have not emerged victorious against Fiorentina in their last 3 league games.
• have not won at home in their last 3 league matches.

Fiorentina

WLLWLW

Fiorentina come into this clash following on from a 1-0 Serie A win vs Cremonese in their previous game.

In that match, Fiorentina had 65% possession and 22 shots on goal with 8 on target. The only player to score for Fiorentina was Moise Kean (92'). On the other side, Cremonese got 6 attempts on goal with 2 of them on target.

Looking at their form, and Fiorentina have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, letting opponents get 6 goals in all. At the back, Fiorentina have been far from perfect.

Going into this encounter, Fiorentina have not won away from home in their last 9 league matches. Their travelling support will be needed here, for sure.

📰 Team News: Lazio

Patric (muscular problems) and Samuel Gigot (Ankle surgery) won’t be able to feature for Lazio gaffer Maurizio Sarri. Players who are serving a ban and are therefore ineligible to play are Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, Boulaye Dia, Adam Marusic and Tijjani Noslin.

It looks as if i Biancocelesti look set to use a 4-3-3 formation this time and select Ivan Provedel, Manuel Lazzari, Mario Gila, Alessio Romagnoli, Luca Pellegrini, Matteo Guendouzi, Danilo Cataldi, Toma Basic, Gustav Isaksen, Pedro Rodriguez and Mattia Zaccagni.

🗞️ Team News: Fiorentina

We believe La Viola might utilise a 4-1-4-1 lineup with a starting lineup of David de Gea, Dodo, Pietro Comuzzo, Marin Pongracic, Luca Ranieri, Nicolo Fagioli, Fabiano Parisi, Rolando Mandragora, Cher Ndour, Albert Gudmundsson and Moise Kean.

⚡ Prediction

We’re envisaging that Fiorentina will need to apply a lot of pressure to find the net against this Lazio lineup who we think might well get the win and a maybe even keep a clean sheet as well.

We therefore think that it’s going to be a very even contest with a 1-0 advantage for Lazio at the conclusion of the game.

Let’s see what happens.
