Preliminary review and match prediction for Fiorentina vs Lazio
It will be interesting how the departure of Serie A’s top scorer Dusan Vlahovic from Fiorentina will affect the Viola’s. Certainly, the Serb’s 17 goals helped Fiorentina to be at the seventh position and have their best Serie A campaign in four years. In any case, coach Vincenzo Italiano’s team are having an inconsistent spell.
To Point out, the Viola won drew and lost their last three outings and beat Genoa 6-0 after losing to Torino 4-0. In their last match in Cagliari, the Violas missed a penalty in the opening minutes and then went down by a goal before the interval. More trouble was on its way as Odriozola was given marching orders after a flagrant foul. However, Italiano’s team could salvage a point after Sottil equalized in the 75th minute.
Back at Artemio Franchi, Fiorentina are undefeated in seven matches and the last time Lazio won here was in 2019. Similarly, Lazio have consistency issues of their own as they had the exact same sequence of results in their last three games as Fiorentina.
Massimo Sarri became famous for his high pressing style and ball possession with Napoli. Nevertheless, he didn’t have the same success with all the teams he coached since leaving Naples including Lazio. And that is evident in Lazio having conceded 39 goals in 23 games, the most among the top 11 teams.
Fiorentina vs Lazio Prediction
The Violas may find it hard to adjust to life without Vlahovic in attack. Surely, Vincenzo Italiano worked hard in the transfer market to buy a replacement and succeeded. Both Italiano and Sarri might be content with a point in this match just to stop the other team from opening up a three-point gap.
Safe Bet
As we covered earlier, both coaches will have a cautious approach to this match. As a result, we might not see a lot of goalmouth action which may reduce the number of corner kicks. In addition, Fiorentina matches have an average of 8.64 total corners while the number of total corners in Lazio matches is 7.70. Hence, the bet under ten corners with odds of 1.50 is our safe bet choice.
Fiorentina vs Lazio First Goalscorer
No one can count out Ciro Immobile not to be on the scoresheet when he is playing in a match. Obviously the Italian international is currently the best local hitman and was the first goalscorer in Lazio’s three matches this season. We predict Immobile to open the account of scoring in this match as well.
Fiorentina vs Lazio Team News
Surely, the main news for Fiorentina fans is the departure of Dusan Vlahovic to Juventus which is a big blow for the Violas. As a result, boss Italiano is left with Callejon, Sottil, and Gonzalez as his main attackers with Saponara out injured. Moroccan Amrabat will be back from AFCON crashing out of the tournament. Lucas Torreira has covid while Odriozola is suspended.
Similarly, Sarri has some injuries to deal with especially in defense and midfield. To point out, Acerbi and Luiz Felipe are both injured although Acerbi is expected to return this week. In midfield, Cataldi is suspended for receiving a red card and in attack, Pedro is still nursing his calf injury with his return date set for early February.
