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.

ℹ️ 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.

ℹ️ 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.
