Fiorentina take on the visitors Lazio in the round 9 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Monday, October 10th at Stadio Artemio Franchi (Florence).
Fiorentina this season is clearly worse than the previous one. Then, only having appeared in Florence, Vincenzo Italiano brought his wards to European competitions. Yes, at the same time there was 7th place - but this was the best result in quite a long time. In addition, it was reached against the background of the winter sale of striker Dusan Vlahovic. Now, of course, the schedule is more intense, because the Violets play in the Conference League too. But there is no impression that they are trying so hard there, tearing their veins and losing a lot of strength. At the same time, in Calcio, frankly, little is obtained. After a good start from 3 rounds without defeat, 1 point followed in the next 3 matches (but in the form of 1-1 with Juventus). September turned out to end with a long-awaited victory 2-0 over Verona. But after a pause associated with the matches of the national teams, the Violet quite expectedly lost 0-1 to Atalanta on their field. The European Cup zone is getting farther away from the wards of Italiano.

With Maurizio Sarri, the Eagles not only did not sink, but also quite confidently finished in 5th place last season. Now, of course, they don't mind taking one more step up, although the competition in the current Serie A is the highest. But so far, the "white-blue" can withstand it quite well. And this despite the load also in the Europa League, in which on Thursday they played against Sturm in Graz. The priority so far looks to be Calcio. There, the capital's "eagles" lost only to "Napoli" - a direct competitor, and, by the way, to the former club of Sarri. That was the peak of not the best start, when after 5 rounds there were only 8 points. But in the fall, Laziale won three times in a row with a total score of 10-0. This allowed them to rise to the quartet of leaders of the current standings.
In the last 10 head-to-head matches, Fiorentina have only 1 win and 1 draw. All other meetings were won by Lazio, including 1-0 and 3-0 in the last Serie A draw. Bookmakers consider the couple's chances of success to be equal. But so you can safely bet that Lazio will at least not lose in this meeting.
Prediction for the match: Lazio to win with +0.5 handicap (X2).
