Fiorentina-Lazio is a match valid for the fifth day of Serie A and is played Sunday at 12:30 p.m.: stats, news, likely lineups, prediction, live TV, streaming.
No win in six games for a Fiorentina side that continues to disappoint. Between the league and conference league, the Viola have yet to taste the joy of 3 points, and Sunday also saw their first defeat (3-2) at Atalanta. In the previous matches, however, the liliati had collected only draws, moreover against opponents within reach.
There has not started well, then, the adventure on the bench of the Tuscan club of Raffaele Palladino, whose main demerit so far is that of not having been able to find an antidote to the defensive problems of a team that does not seem to have yet absorbed the transition to a three-man defense. Fiorentina, in essence, is not struggling to create scoring chances (sixth in the league in shots) but at the same time has already conceded six goals.
The challenge with Dea is emblematic in this sense: despite an excellent first half – the Viola had twice taken the lead – within two minutes it thwarted everything, with De Ketelaere and Lookman making the best of things in front of a fragile and defenseless Viola defense. The standings would start to become worrisome if Palladino’s men hurt against Lazio as well. The Biancocelesti have four more points despite no shortage of ups and downs. Marco Baroni’s team on Monday returned to winning ways after two days by beating Verona 2-1 thanks to goals from strikers Dia and Castellanos and thus moving closer to the Europa zone again.
Fiorentina-Lazio: the latest lineup news
Palladino is expected to reintroduce the three-man defense with Biraghi as a brace and Pongracic in place of Ranieri, among the worst on the field in Bergamo. Former Cataldi will act as director, flanked by Mandragora, while Dodò and Gosens will be reintroduced on the flanks. For the first time, Gudmundsson could sit on the bench: the muscle problem is behind him, it cannot be ruled out that Palladino could call on the Icelander in the match in progress.
On the other side, Baroni is apprehensive about the condition of Castellanos, struggling with muscle discomfort. Noslin is expected to play in attack, supported by Dia in the three-quarter. Ballot on the right lane between Isaksen and Tchaouna, with the former slightly favored.

The Prediction
Lazio’s only defeat of the season so far has come on the road (2-1 in Udine), but it is also true that the “Franchi” in recent years has been several times a winning ground for the biancocelesti (2 victories in the last three trips to the Tuscan capital). Without indulging in the result, we imagine a prolific match given the permeability of the violet defense and also considering that Lazio has never kept its goal inviolate: at least one goal on each side and more than two overall.
The probable lineups of Fiorentina-Lazio
FIORENTINA (3-4-2-1): De Gea; Martinez Quarta, Pongracic, Biraghi; Dodò, Cataldi, Mandragora, Gosens; Colpani, Sottil; Kean.
LAZIO (4-2-3-1): Provedel; Lazzari, Gila, Romagnoli, Nuno Tavares; Guendouzi, Rovella; Isaksen, Dia, Zaccagni; Noslin.
