Lazio find themselves in a direct shootout with Roma for the final Europa League place in the Serie A end-of-season run-in. Both teams want to avoid dropping into the Europa Conference League spot and Maurizio Sarri is clear on the challenge ahead.
The Biancocelesti have shown the recent form needed to push Roma and pick up another key win this weekend, as they have won four of their last five Serie A games, either side of losing to Jose Mourinho’s charges. Lazio have looked to ease up through the gears in the final few weeks of 2021-22, with a total of over 2.5 goals scored in 90 minutes in five of their last six league outings.
Within that statistic, the Aquile have contributed significantly to the average number of goals scored, with Sarri’s team netting over 1.5 goals in three of their last five league games. Aside from a 3-0 loss against Roma, Lazio have also shown some of Sarri’s trademark defensive grit in the last month, with two goals conceded in their four games around that defeat.
Torino’s own campaign looks to be levelling out in mid-table, with a paltry return of one win in their last 10 Serie A fixtures. However, Il Toro’s 2021 form looks to have saved them from a last-gasp relegation battle.
The visitors’ goalscoring form will also give Lazio a boost, with two goals scored in five league games and just one from open play since mid-February. Three points for the hosts will keep up the growing pressure on Roma in the Europa League race, as Lazio cannot afford to drop any silly points before the end of the season.
