The Stadio Artemio Franchi in Florence hosts a Monday evening Serie A derby of sorts as Fiorentina welcome Lazio, two clubs in very different positions in the table and on very different European stages. Fiorentina are in the Conference League quarter-finals (facing Crystal Palace) while Lazio are focused entirely on securing European qualification through their domestic campaign.
Predictions & Tips
Form Guide
Fiorentina
Fiorentina sit 15th in the Serie A table on approximately 32 points, with results that have improved of late including a 1-0 win over Hellas Verona over the last weekend which demonstrated their quality. Their Conference League adventure has been a highlight of the season: reaching a fourth consecutive quarter-final, having already beaten Raków, they now come into this encounter after their first leg semifinal tie against Crystal Palace. The H2H record between these two sides historically favours Lazio; winning 19 times to Fiorentina's 8. Although Fiorentina have won their last three meetings against Lazio by the same 2-1 scoreline.
Lazio
Lazio sit 9th in the Serie A table with 37 points. Their most recent result was a 1-1 draw against Parma which broke off a three-game winning streak in the division. Lazio have struggled for consistency this season and their away form has been particularly unconvincing; with under 1.5 goals have been recorded in 47% of their road fixtures. They go into this fixture unbeaten in five straight league games, a run that has softened their European ambitions.
Prediction
With Fiorentina's home ground producing goals in a number of matches this season and Lazio's record in away games; over 1.5 goals is the lean here.
We hope this preview provides you some insights into the encounter, but do make sure to do your research before making a final decision.
