The race for Europe comes into focus in this weekend’s Serie A action and these Lazio vs. Fiorentina predictions play a key part. Maurizio Sarri’s hosts are pushing for a Champions League return with Fiorentina set in mid-table.
Lazio vs. Fiorentina odds
1 – Lazio to win – 15/13
2 – Lazio under 2.5 total goals – 2/9
3 – Total goals scored under 2.5 – 10/11
4 – Both teams not to score – 23/20
5 – Lazio to win 2-0 – 10/1
These two sides come into this game in contrasting form since the start of 2023, with Lazio looking to kick on in the second half of the campaign. Sarri’s charges began their post-World Cup return with a defeat to Lecce but they are unbeaten in four games since, across league and cup action.
In comparison, Fiorentina have won just once in four league matches in 2023, and they have not won away from home since the start of November. Lazio are strongly fancied to pick up another league win here, as they have lost just once at home since the start of September.
Within that solid streak of results at the start of 2023, Lazio have relied on narrow wins to maintain their momentum, with over 2.5 goals scored in just one of the four league games played this month.
The 4-0 hammering of defending champions Milan was an outlier in their recent results, after not winning by more than a two goal margin since October 10th. On average, Lazio have scored two goals per game in Serie A in 2023, and that pattern looks to continue this weekend.
They have also kept successive clean sheets, against Milan and Sassuolo, with four successful shut outs in their last seven league outings either side of the World Cup. They now come up against a Fiorentina side which has averaged less than one goal per league game since returning to action.
Lazio will be confident of a win, with the added bonus of keeping a clean sheet at the back. They could even leapfrog Milan into second place if Stefano Pioli’s side slip up at home to Sassuolo this weekend.
