Empoli take on the visitors Lazio at the Stadio Carlo Castellani in the 4th tour of the Serie A TIM. The match will be played in the eponymous city Empoli on Sunday, September 16th.
Empoli have been getting pretty good results in the start of the new Serie A TIM season. Last year they were looking strong in the Serie B. It will be very hard for them to maintain their momentum because the class difference between the Serie B teams and the Serie A teams is huge. In their three matches of the 2018/2019 Serie A season the Azzurri were able to get four points which was a good result. They have lost only once this season yet to Genoa with a 1-2 score. It could very well happen that the team of Aurelio Andreazzoli will lose their momentum soon because of their euphoria in the start. In their last three matches Empoli drew against Arezzo with a 1-1 score, against ChievoVerona with a 0-0 score and lost to Genoa with a 1-2 score.

Lazio have been having one of the toughest playing schedules in the European football lately. In their two starting matches of the 2018/2019 Serie A TIM season I Biancocelesti faced Napoli and Juventus. The team got no points in those fixtures. Only in the third tour their opponent was the weak Frosinone and the team of Simone Inzaghi was able to beat them with a 1-0 score. Lazio are already six points away from the first place so they should not lose any points in their upcoming match against the new team to the Serie A TIM. There are a lot of star players in the squad of Le Aquile such as Ciro Immobile, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Luis Alberto, Lucas Leiva and many others. The team is likely to start climbing to the top of the table soon. In their last three matches Lazio beat Frosinone with a 1-0 score, lost to Juventus with a 0-2 score and to Napoli with a 1-2 score.
Empoli have not faced such strong teams as Lazio yet this season so the away side has all the tools to get the victory in the upcoming fixture. The Azzurri could just be not ready to play in their defense for the 90% of the match. I Biancocelesti should win.
Prediction for the match: Lazio to win.
