Fiorentina take on the visitors Lazio in the round 32 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Monday, April 13th at Stadio Artemio Franchi (Florence).
Fiorentina have been quite decent in recent seasons, although they have not achieved major success. Last season, under Raffaele Palladino, they finished above the Romans in the race for 6th place, but due to Bologna FC winning the cup, they had to settle once again for the familiar Conference League. There, the Italians have been traditionally strong: they comfortably passed the main round and knocked out Jagiellonia Bialystok and Rakow Czestochowa in the playoffs. However, on Thursday they failed against Crystal Palace F.C., losing 0-3. On the domestic front, things went poorly under Stefano Pioli, who arrived in the summer, and even with Paolo Vanoli improvement did not come immediately — the first Serie A win only came in December. Still, they reached the March international break in 16th place, and in the last round they beat a direct rival, Hellas Verona, thanks to a single goal. Recently, Fiorentina have shown signs of improvement in tight matches. At the same time, their attacking efficiency remains inconsistent against stronger opponents.

Lazio may still save the season, but not here. The “Eagles” collected the same 65 points as the “Viola” in the 2024/2025 season, but finished 7th due to tiebreakers, and Bologna’s cup success left them without European competitions. It is therefore no surprise that they changed their coach again in the summer. However, Maurizio Sarri, who once led the Romans to a runner-up finish, has delivered very modest results in Serie A this time, while the club’s management even sold key players in January without his approval. Even after three consecutive wins in March, the “Biancocelesti” only climbed to 8th place. A week ago, they were held to a 1-1 draw by Parma Calcio 1913. There is still the cup, where they reached the semifinals, although the first home leg ended 2-2, meaning they now need a win in Bergamo. Lazio have recently been involved in closely contested matches with limited margins. At the same time, their results away from home remain unstable.
The “Viola” had won three consecutive matches. However, in January the teams played out a 1-1 draw in Rome. The “Biancocelesti” look quite solid, so a reasonable pick is Lazio with a 0 handicap.
Prediction for the match: Lazio to win with 0.0 handicap.
