Lazio-Fiorentina is a match valid for the tenth day of Serie A and is played on Monday at 20:45: odds, predictions, TV and streaming.
Couldn’t fail to close with a bang this day of Serie A, which yesterday offered two juicy big matches such as Inter-Roma and Napoli-Milan.
In the last of Monday’s postponements, we move to the Olimpico, where Lazio and Fiorentina both go in the hunt for redemption. Maurizio Sarri’s Biancocelesti to forget the clear defeat in the Champions League with Feyenoord (3-1), which on Wednesday slowed the Capitolini’s run toward qualification for the round of 16 of the continent’s most important event. The Viola, on the other hand, to file away the ugly and unexpected setback in the derby with Empoli (0-2), a wound only partly healed by the goleada handed Thursday in the Conference League to the hapless Cukaricki, annihilated 6-0 at the “Franchi.” As for Lazio, even Sarri himself considers the one in Rotterdam a worrying step backward: the Tuscan coach did not like the attitude of his men and returned to speak of a lack of personality. The cup defeat interrupts the positive mini-series of the biancocelesti, who came back from victories against Celtic, Atalanta and Sassuolo.
In any case, the successes against the Bergamaschi and the Emiliani have improved the standings, with Lazio appearing on the left side for the first time after their less-than-positive start. Fiorentina, on the other hand, has four more points and against Empoli threw away a chance to nab Juventus in third place. Vincenzo Italiano’s men are struggling to find continuity: two consecutive victories have yet to come.
Lazio-Fiorentina: the latest news on the lineups
Immobile, after starting in Rotterdam, is expected to return to the bench: up front another chance for former Girona man Castellanos. Also back from 1′ are Zaccagni and Lazzari, while in midfield Sarri will give confidence to Guendouzi, preferred to Kamada and Vecino.
In the Viola it is emergency on the right lane: after Dodò, Kayode is also injured. It is not excluded that Italiano gives a chance to another product of the nursery, Comuzzo. Arthur and Duncan return in the middle, while in attack this time it will be the turn of Argentine Beltran, who got unblocked in the cup by scoring his first double in a purple jersey.
The prediction
Lazio has become something of a black beast for the Viola: the Biancocelesti have prevailed 9 times in the last 12 confrontations. The season has not started well for Sarri’s team, but the Olimpico remains a fortress, which so far only Genoa has managed to breach: the Capitolini between home walls have conceded only 4 of the total 12 goals conceded in 9 matches. Against an unpredictable Fiorentina that concedes too much, Lazio should not miss the appointment with the three points in a match of at least three goals total.
The probable formations of Lazio-Fiorentina
- LAZIO (4-3-3): Provedel; Lazzari, Casale, Romagnoli, Marusic; Guendouzi, Rovella, Luis Alberto; Felipe Anderson, Castellanos, Zaccagni.
- FIORENTINA (4-2-3-1): Terracciano, Comuzzo, Milenkovic, Martinez Quarta, Parisi; Duncan, Arthur; Ikoné, Bonaventura, Gonzalez; Beltran.
POSSIBLE RESULT: 2-1
