Lazio vs Fiorentina: Prediction and Betting Tips

Lazio’s need consistency in their performances

Lazio suffered their third defeat at the weekend in Verona by 4-1. That was a heavy blow for Sarrri’s team as the Biancocelesti lost their seventh spot in the table to Fiorentina. In addition, this was Lazio’s second heavy defeat in three games after their derby win over AS Roma. Surely, Sarri has to fix this inconsistency that his team is having in current matches.

Despite a very impressive home form that has them unbeaten at home this season, Sarri is concerned with his defense. To illustrate, Lazio have no clean sheets this season in their last ten games. On the other hand, Biancocelesti’s last nine matches in the Serie A saw two or more goals making them a perfect contender for over 2.5 goals betting.

Fiorentina to end their losing streak at the Olimpico

Despite suffering four defeats so far, Fiorentina are enjoying their best season in five years. The reason for that is their five wins and zero draws. Moreover, their last win over Cagliari by 3-0 was their biggest this season. In addition, their tally of 15 points is seven points more than they collected last season after nine games. 

To point out, The Viola won three of their games on the road making them joint second-best in Serie A. Nonetheless, coach Vincenzo Italiano needs to improve his defense who has just two clean sheets all season. Also, we must note that Fiorentina lost in their last four visits to the Olimpico to play Lazio. Hence a different approach must be taken by Italiano.
