Lazio hosts Parma in the Coppa Italia 1/8 finals. The match will be played on Thursday, January 21st at Stadio Olimpico (Rome)
Lazio recently showed an excellent game in the derby with Roma and defeated the principal rivals with a score of 3:0. This victory allowed Simone Inzaghi's charges to rise to 7th place in the championship standings. As for the national cup, the Eagles will try to get to the final stages of the tournament. Beyond that, Lazio will have a difficult confrontation with Bayern Munich in the 1/8 finals of the Champions League. The core of the team has remained unchanged for several years in a row. Lazio is doing a terrible job in the transfer market – it has not made really powerful purchases in the last two seasons. Without Luis Alberto, Milinkovic-Savic, Strakosha, Immobile, and Correa, the Roman club will become a typical middle peasant.

In January, the bosses of Parma appointed a new coach, Roberto D'Aversa. The specialist is expected to get the team out of a deep crisis and positions at the tail of the standings. In terms of its level and status, Parma should be closer to the position of the middle peasant. In the Italian Cup, the club will try to break a streak of five consecutive defeats. In the previous stages of the tournament, the Parmesans eliminated Pescara (3:1) and Cosenza (2:1). The reason for the team's failures could be a large-scale restructuring of the squad, which was carried out in the summer of 2020. But in six months, the former coaching staff has not managed to achieve tangible progress in the interaction of players and tactical literacy. Such players as Sepe, Hernani, Gervinho, Kucka, Kurtić, and Sohm are the leaders of the team.
The Romans are in good shape, regularly gain victories, and are clear contenders for getting into the quarterfinals of the national cup. Parma is still unorganized, and each player on the field is playing his own football. To correct all the shortcomings, D'Aversa has to carry out a colossal amount of work. The hosts will seize the initiative from the first minutes and will control the course of the confrontation. And they are likely to win in regulation time.
Prediction for the match: Lazio to win
