Lazio take on the visitors Frosinone in the round 18 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Friday, December 29th at Stadio Olimpico (Rome).
In 2021, the Eagles lost their coach – Simone Inzaghi simply moved to Inter, deciding that the club, despite the deterioration of financial capabilities, was still more promising. However, his replacement, Sarri, not only failed to maintain the level but also struggled to improve it with his new team. Last season, the Sky Blues became vice-champions – a position they hadn't achieved since Inzaghi's time as a player. They also managed to return to the Champions League, where it was tough but successful: the Italians reached the playoffs, albeit in the 2nd place, behind Atletico, whom they only avoided defeat against at home due to a goal from Provveda, who rushed from his goal to the opponent's during the final assault. In Serie A, however, things started with losses, including to modest teams like Lecce and Genoa. Although something started to click later, Lazio are still outside the European competition zone, even after a 2-0 victory over Empoli away, currently standing at the 9th position.

Frosinone aims to stay in the top division for the first time. The Canaries made their Serie A debut only in 2015 and were promptly relegated after their first season. A similar fate awaited them during their next promotion to the top division in 2018/2019. However, they are currently performing quite well. The newly appointed coach, Eusebio Di Francesco, who previously faced several failures, has done an excellent job. Since the 1-3 loss to Napoli, his new team went on an unbeaten streak for five matches, securing victories at home against Verona, Empoli, and Genoa with a draw against Torino. Although they suffered defeats away, the league newcomer crushed Napoli 4-0 in the cup. They also held a draw against Juventus until the 81st minute before succumbing to Vlahovic.
Before this, there were four encounters, and the Canaries failed to score. However, they did manage to secure a draw against the capital's giants – a goalless one. In Rome, the home team will be the favorites. Still, they are not significantly stronger than the newcomer to the division at the moment. Let's bet on the visitors with a handicap of +1.0 goals.
Prediction for the match: Frosinone to win with +1.0 handicap.
