The final match of the weekend in Serie A takes place on Monday, as two of the sides in the hunt for a European spot collide. Fiorentina will be playing in front of their home fans, as they look to end a run of two matches without a victory when they host Lazio.
Serie A Preview
It has been a testing period of the season for both Fiorentina and Lazio, but both Italian sides will have the opportunity to get back on track when they collide on Monday. Fiorentina currently sit a place and a point higher than their rivals from Rome, but they have picked up just one victory from their last five matches in Serie A.
That leaves the side from Florence languishing in seventh place, and now seven points off the Champions League positions. A return to form will be required this weekend, and there were signs of improvement after playing out a draw in their latest fixture against Empoli. But, it was a missed opportunity for Fiorentina on that occasion, as they weren’t able to hold on to a 1-0 advantage in the second period.
Lazio will also be looking to get their campaign back on track this weekend after picking up two victories from their last five. Last season’s runners-up are currently eight points off the Champions League positions, but a victory this weekend could put them back in the frame for a top four spot.
Lazio have suffered defeats in two of their last three matches in the competition, which includes a setback against Bologna last weekend. The side from Rome took the lead in that home fixture, but Bologna stole maximum points after netting the winner with just over ten minutes remaining.
Fiorentina vs Lazio Head to Head
Lazio have avoided defeat in their last five Serie A matches against Fiorentina since a 2-0 defeat in May 2021. Since then, Lazio have recorded four victories, which includes a win in the first meeting between these sides this term. Lazio have also won on their last two trips to Florence.
Fiorentina vs Lazio Prediction
There is little to separate these sides in the league standings, and it should be a close encounter between the teams on Monday. However, Lazio’s healthy record against Fiorentina could be the key trend, meaning that we will be siding with the away team claiming maximum points.
