SS Lazio to finally score a win

SS Lazio to finally score a win

SS Lazio are looking to end their losing run across all contests, when they face ACF Fiorentina for their Serie A match, with aims of improving their place in the standings. Looking at the league table, these two teams are not far from each other, with Fiorentina being at the better spot. They are at the fifth of the league table with 17 points, despite their mixed results from their matches. On the other hand, Lazio is at the ninth of the league table with just 13 points in their campaign. From the last 48 matches they played, it is surprising that Lazio has a better record, winning 29. Meanwhile, Fiorentina won 11 matches, while the remaining eight games ended in draw. The 49th meeting between these two teams is on October 31, 2023, at 3:45 AM (GMT+8).

Lazio, a team in the Champions League’s knockout phase, has four points from three Group E games after an ill-tempered encounter at De Kuip. They have a chance to make the last 16, but must find consistency in Serie A before next month’s reverse fixture with Feyenoord. Lazio’s sluggish start to the league campaign, with only one win from six games, has led to a 2-0 win at Sassuolo, but they still trail behind in the top-four race. Last year’s second-place finish was built on a series of clean sheets, but this season, Lazio have conceded over a goal per game in Serie A despite a similar back four. Despite being vulnerable on the road, Lazio has recently won both of their two most recent league fixtures at Stadio Olimpico, as many home wins as in the previous six.

Lazio’s only injury absentee is Nicolo Casale due to a thigh problem. Maurizio Sarri may use squad rotation, with Lazzari in line for promotion. Taty Castellanos could replace captain Ciro Immobile. Luis Alberto hopes to start against Fiorentina, having contributed eight goals in 12 Serie A matches.

Fiorentina, despite their recent inferiority to their hosts, have a four-point lead over the Biancocelesti in the Serie A. They have won eight of their last 13 league matches, marking themselves as top-four contenders for the 2023-24 campaign. Despite a defeat to Empoli in the Derby dell’Arno, Fiorentina responded by defeating Cukaricki in the Europa Conference League. They scored a 6-0 win against opponents reduced to 10 men, with summer signing Lucas Beltran contributing to a confidence-boosting brace. The Viola’s next match in Serbia comes amid a tough schedule, as they must host Juventus and visit Milan at San Siro. This run of games could determine the strength of last season’s Conference League finalists.

Vincenzo Italiano is set to make further changes to Viola’s squad, with senior players like Nikola Milenkovic, Giacomo Bonaventura, and Nico Gonzalez returning. However, Italiano faces an injury concern at right-back, and may consider left-footed Fabiano Parisi or Pietro Comuzzo.
