Fiorentina

DDDDDL 🤝

Fiorentina will be looking for an improved result here after the 3-2 Serie A losing effort in their last game against Atalanta.

In that game, Fiorentina managed 48% possession and 13 attempts on goal with 5 of them on target. For Fiorentina, the goalscorers were Lucas Martínez Quarta (15') and Moise Kean (32'). On the other side, Atalanta got 13 attempts at goal with 7 of them on target. Mateo Retegui (21'), Ademola Lookman (45') and Charles De Ketelaere (45') scored for Atalanta.

Fiorentina have been conceding pretty frequently of late, but they have also done enough to hit the back of the net themselves. Over their last 6 matches, Fiorentina have conceded in 5 of them as well as getting on the scoresheet in 5 of those games.

Taking a look at their past results, Fiorentina:

• are unbeaten in their previous 6 home league matches.
• are without a home win in the past 3 matches in the league.

Lazio

DDWLDW

Lazio head into the meeting after a 2-1 Serie A win with the eclipse of Hellas Verona in their most recent fixture.

In that game, Lazio had 55% possession and 14 shots at goal with 7 on target. For Lazio, the scorers were Boulaye Dia (5') and Valentín Castellanos (20'). Hellas Verona had 7 shots on goal with 2 on target. Casper Tengstedt (7') was the scorer for Hellas Verona.

Lazio have regularly broken through opposing defences in the lead-up to this encounter, having scored 10 goals in their previous 6 matches. While their manager Marco Baroni will no doubt take that as a positive sign, Lazio have had their own issues at the back, also conceding in 6 of those same clashes. Nevertheless, time will tell if that trend shall be sustained here in this game.

Going into this one, Lazio are without an away win for the past 3 league matches.

🤜🤛 Head to head

A glance at their most recent head-to-head clashes stretching back to 27/10/2021 shows that Fiorentina have won 1 of these & Lazio 4, with the number of drawn games being 1.

In all, 14 goals were shared by the two clubs in these games, with 3 of them from La Viola and 11 netted by i Biancocelesti. The average number of goals per game works out to 2.33.

The previous league contest featuring the two was Serie A match day 26 on 26/02/2024 when the final score was Fiorentina 2-1 Lazio.

In that game, Fiorentina had 55% possession and 21 attempts at goal with 7 on target. The goals were scored by Michael Kayode (61') and Giacomo Bonaventura (69').

The match was refereed by Marco Guida.

🗞️ Team News: Fiorentina

It seems likely that La Viola may well line up in a 3-4-2-1 formation for this game, beginning the first half with David De Gea, Pietro Comuzzo, L. Martinez Quarta, Cristiano Biraghi, Dodo, Robin Gosens, Danilo Cataldi, Rolando Mandragora, Andrea Colpani, Edoardo Bove and Moise Kean.

📰 Team News: Lazio

Lazio manager Marco Baroni has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Samuel Gigot (Shoulder injury) and Taty Castellanos (Adductor injury) miss out here.

It’s our belief that i Biancocelesti might begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 system with a starting lineup of Ivan Provedel, Manuel Lazzari, Patric, Mario Gila, Nuno Tavares, Matteo Guendouzi, Gaetano Castrovilli, Gustav Isaksen, Tijjani Noslin, Mattia Zaccagni and Boulaye Dia.

💡 Prediction

In this game, Lazio have the firepower to breach the defence of this Fiorentina team, although that might not be enough to prevent defeat.

We reckon that it will be a tight encounter finishing with a 2-1 win for Fiorentina at the end of the 90 minutes. We are expecting it to be pretty even.
