Lazio hosts Fiorentina in round 16 of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Wednesday, January 6th at Stadio Olimpico (Rome)
Having gained only one victory in the last five league matches (two defeats), Lazio has already slipped to 9th place in the standings. And the gap to the Champions League zone is eight points, so the Eagles should improve their results if they want to get there in the next season.
Fiorentina showed signs of life in the last four rounds and did not lose a single game. Yes, there was only one victory, but over whom? Over the champion Juventus! However, the Violets look quite mediocre on the road. They lost in four out of seven away rounds and won only once (the already-mentioned victory over the Old Lady). Nevertheless, Fiorentina managed to move away from the relegation zone by four points and took 14th place in the standings.

Fiorentina has resurrected in the last three weeks, but it’s too early to believe in its complete recovery. Yes, there was a victory over Juventus before Christmas, but Lazio knows about this victory, and the Eagles will be able to analyze the mistakes of the Turin team so as not to repeat them. Further, it was only the third victory of the Violets in 15 rounds, and Lazio has twice as many victories. Finally, Fiorentina is terrified of playing against the Eagles for the past three years. During this period, the rivals met six times, and the Romans gained five victories and one draw. Some decline in the championship can be explained by battles on two fronts. The Eagles fought in the Champions League for promotion to the playoffs, so some Serie A matches had to be sacrificed. Lazio coped with the task, so it's time to make up for lost points in Serie A. Lazio's line-up is much more balanced, and the qualifications of Reina, Milinkovic-Savic, Parolo, Caicedo, and Immobile should be enough to defeat the unstable Fiorentina.
Prediction for the match: Lazio to win
