Fiorentina vs Lazio prediction for Saturday’s round 35 of the Serie A clash at Stadio Artemio Franchi in Florence. 14th placed Fiorentina host Lazio who are sixth on the Serie A table. Read along for our free prediction and betting tips.
Still not safe Fiorentina, looking to pick up points
La Viola are just four points away from the relegation zone in Serie A. They have picked up just five points from their last five games, winning one drawing two, and losing two. Boss Giuseppe Iachini will be keen his team doesn’t lose any more points as that could slip them further down the Serie A table with just four matches to play in the season.
Fiorentina have been struggling in the bottom half of the Serie A all season. With eight wins and 15 losses this season, Iachini couldn’t find a stable form with his team throughout the season as the Violas haven’t won two consecutive matches in this campaign. Conceding 11 goals in five matches, Fiorentina need to improve their defense against a very strong Lazio attack.
In-form Lazio chasing a top-four finish
Il Biancocelesti are five points away from a Champions League berth with six matches for them still to play, one more than all other teams as they have a game in hand against Torino. Lazio have tough matches still like the Rome derby which they won in the first match 3-0. Coach Simone Inzaghi’s team is in very good form losing just one match in the last seven.
Lazio’s last four Serie A showdowns have seen over three goals in each of them and Inzaghi’s team scored the most of those goals, 14 to be exact. Two goals in each of the last two games have made Joaquin Correa one of the most in-form players to score for Lazio from midfield and Inzaghi will hope the Argentine can deliver more of that prolific scoring in the next matches.
