Lazio have regularly broken through opposing defences in their most recent fixtures, having scored 11 goals in their previous 6 matches. Having said that, Lazio have had their own issues at the back, also conceding in 5 of those same clashes. That sort of pattern won’t necessarily be carried forward here, though.

📋 Team News: Salernitana

In our view, I granata may well kick off with a 3-5-2 formation for the game with Vid Belec, Andrei Motoc, Filippo Delli Carri, Frederic Veseli, Wajdi Kechrida, Francesco Di Tacchio, Andrea Schiavone, Joel Chukwuma Obi, Luca Ranieri, Federico Bonazzoli and Cedric Gondo.

🗞️ Team News: Lazio

Lazio boss Maurizio Sarri has some current player fitness concerns. Jean-Daniel Akpa Akpro (Corona virus), Stefan Radu (Unknown Injury), Toma Basic (Unknown Injury), André Anderson (Unknown Injury) and Francesco Acerbi (Hamstring Injury) won’t be making appearances.

We are inclined to think that i Biancocelesti will likely elect for a 4-3-3 lineup, choosing Thomas Strakosha, Adam Marusic, Luiz Felipe, Patric, Elseid Hysaj, S. Milinkovic-Savic, Danilo Cataldi, Luis Alberto, Pedro Rodriguez, Ciro Immobile and Mattia Zaccagni.

✨ Prediction

Salernitana have it within them to put one past this Lazio side, but one goal possibly won’t quite be enough to avoid a loss.

We’re going for a very close game with a 1-2 win for Lazio at full-time. There shouldn’t be much in it, either way.
