The day job of the 2022-23 Serie A season returns this weekend and these Lazio vs. Spezia predictions form part of a busy weekend schedule. Maurizio Sarri’s side restart their campaign in fourth place, with Spezia down in 12th.

Lazio vs. Spezia odds

1 – Lazio to win at – 4/9

2 – Lazio over 1.5 total goals – 1/2

3 – Total goals scored over 2.5 – 13/20

4 – Both teams not to score – 1/1

5 – Lazio to win 2-0 at – 13/2

The early season Serie A title race has pitted a string of unexpected names together in the running to challenge defending champions Milan.

With Napoli leading the way at the top of the pile, Sarri’s Lazio find themselves just three points behind in fourth after seven league games played.

Lazio are solid favourites to secure a win at the Stadio Olimpico, after winning three of their four home league matches so far this season and wrapping up for the international break with a 4-0 victory away at Cremonese.

Sarri’s charges have also impressed in front of goal, with 15 scored in seven matches – and are the joint highest in the top-flight alongside front runners Napoli.

Within that positive streak of goal scoring form, they have scored over 1.5 goals in three of their three home league outings, with four overall in Serie A as it stands.

In nine games across domestic and Europa League action, Lazio have been involved in six games with over 2.5 goals scored in total inside 90 minutes, with four of Spezia’s seven league matches mirroring that tally in the opening two months of the campaign.

Lazio have only managed to keep one clean sheet at home this season though, and they will be vulnerable to conceding goals. But Spezia have failed to score away from home in 2022-23 and the hosts will be determined to improve their defensive record.

A winning return to Serie A action will be a major boost for Sarri and his players, with the added potential of closing the gap on the sides above them over the weekend if results elsewhere go in their favour.

Lazio team news

Sarri is still missing hotshot Ciro Immobile through injury with Nicolo Casale and Manuel Lazzari only just back in first team training. However, if he does look to freshen things up, Toma Basic, Luka Romero and Alessio Romagnoli could come back into the team.

Spezia team news

Spezia head coach Luca Gotti is without a string of first team players through injury with Daniele Verde, Daniel Maldini and Kelvin Amian Adou now joined on the sidelines by Viktor Kovalenko. However, the positivity of a 2-1 win at home to Sampdoria last time out could persuade him to name a largely unchanged team.
