Lazio
It has been a season with lots of ups and downs for Lazio as they kept dropping points in recent games. The Biancoceleste however, went back to winning ways in the previous round and returned from Salerno with a 0-2 win over Salernitana raising their points tally to to 42 in fifth position.
It was Lazio’s first clean sheet in three games as well with Sarri’s men having the fourth-best defense in Serie A letting in 19 goals in 23 outings. Still, the Biancoceleste have scored the opening goal in 18 of their 23 league fixtures nine of which were at the Stadio Olimpico.
Sampdoria
With the 1-2 home defeat at hands of Bologna, Sampdoria failed to win for the seventh straight time. The Blucerchiati are in deep trouble as they find themselves in the heart of the relegation zone with 11 points eight points behind the safety zone. Sampdoria lost five of their eight matches prior to this one.
Nevertheless, Sampdoria managed to score 31.3% more goals in the last eight rounds with an average of 0.63 goals per game than they did during the season which has an average of 0.48 goals per game. The Blucerchiati conceded at least a goal in ten of their 11 away games.
On paper, this looks like an easy match for Lazio to win but the Biancoceleste lost at home to Salernitana earlier this season. Thus, Sarri needs to raise his team’s focus to the maximum in order to pick all three points and avoid any surprises. Our prediction is a Lazio win.
