Lazio welcome the visitors Empoli in the Italian Serie A – Round 23. The match will be held on Thursday, February, 7th, at the Stadio Olimpico (Rome).
The hosting Lazio won only 1 of 5 latest encounters. That said, the last ‘Eagles’’ Serie A win goes back to 26 December 2018. After the 1:1 draw against Torino, they registered 2 defeats with the same 1:2 scoreline – against Napoli and against Juventus. Simone Inzaghi’s side, however, keep up their Cup run – their midweek clash with Internazionale finished level, then they beat the opponent by penalties, and progressed to the semifinal. Lazio take the 8th line in the standings with a tally of 32 points and the goal difference of 30 to 25. On their turf, the Romans picked up 18 points in 11 rounds, scoring 19 goals and allowing 14.

The visiting Empoli have been winless for around 2 months, since 9 December 2018. After the last success, the team held 7 matches, drawing twice and losing 5 encounters. In the previous encounter, Empoli drawed against Chievo at home, 2:2. They are presently 17th in the table with a tally of 18 points and the goal difference of 27 to 44, hovering 1 point off the relegation zone. Empoli’s away record is the worst in the league – they celebrated no victory in 10 fixtures and racked up 4 points, featuring 11 scored goals and 24 missed ones.
Lazio’s 4 latest meetings with Empoli were victorious by a 7:1 aggregate scoreline. Given the guests’ current miserable form, the Romans are expected to continue their successful streak.
Prediction for the match: Lazio to win with a -1.0 handicap.
