The home draw against Parma has made it extremely difficult to qualify for next year’s Champions League. But Baroni’s Lazio still has a chance. They need to beat Empoli away and then win next week’s head-to-head clash with Juventus at the Olimpico.
One game at a time, though. And let’s say that the Biancocelesti are not in the best of form, especially after their elimination from the Europa League at the hands of Bodo. Yes, then there was the away game in Genoa, which they won, but it was certainly influenced by Vieira’s men being a man down. In short, there have been too many ups and downs in a season that started so well and could end in disappointment. On the other hand, Empoli are really in dire straits. They haven’t won in ages and their position in the table is more than worrying. It’s difficult, however, to see D’Aversa managing to get his team out of this situation.
This is also because Sunday’s lunchtime match is a foregone conclusion. Lazio is almost a taboo for Empoli: in the last four encounters, the capital side has always won, scoring at least two goals and conceding only once. So, it is likely to continue in the same vein.
