Lazio take on the visitors Salernitana in the round 12 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Sunday, October 30th at Stadio Olimpico (Rome).
Lazio changed their coach before the start of last season. Fortunately, Maurizio Sarri was without work - he was called to Rome. And it turned out that they got a specialist who is able to give the “eagles” a new impetus. Last season, rebuilding the club's football to suit themselves and their style, "Smoker" still achieved an improvement in the standings, returning the wards to the Europa League. There they, however, perform in the fall without much success. But the reason is prioritization. For Laziale, Serie A remains the focus of efforts. There, too, it was by no means the best start, with only a couple of victories in the first 5 rounds. But in the next 6 matches of Serie A, the team managed to win 5 times with a goalless draw with the breakthrough of the championship - Udinese. Last Sunday, the White-and-Blues beat Atalanta 2-0 on the road and pushed it out of the top three of the current standings.

Salernitana belonged to Claudio Lotito, who is the president of Lazio, and could have been expelled in the winter just because of this. And then, when a new investor was finally found at the last moment, it seemed that the newcomer would fly out of Serie A for purely sporting reasons, due to extremely poor results. But Davide Nicola was entrusted to coach here in the decisive period, and he already showed another miraculous rescue of the underdog. However, the “seahorses” scored only 31 points, which in other years would not have been close enough to survive. It is clear that even this mentor would not have passed such a trick for the 2nd time. And in August, the outsider showed that they had changed, they improved. Having lost minimally in the starting round to Roma, then Salernitana gave out a 5-match unbeaten streak (a victory over Sampdoria and 4 draws). And in October, they took the maximum in home matches with Verona and Spezia, however, with defeats on the road.
Last season, when the clubs played for the first time since 1999, there was no fight. Lazio won both meetings with identical scores 3-0. Bookmakers are waiting for the metropolitan grand to win again - maybe not as big as before, but also without problems. A passing offer seems to be a bet on Lazio with a handicap of "-1 goal scored".
Prediction for the match: Lazio to win with -1.0 handicap.
