Thursday, at 19:30, Lazio will receive a visit to Empoli in a match for the 23rd Serie A. The match will take place at the “Stadio Olimpico” in Rome.
After losing to the limit, with the same score (2-1), the infernal championship derby, against Napoli and Juventus, Lazio showed that he could get to grips with the grandees of Italy and removed it in the middle last week’s Inter Cup quarterfinals, even on Giuseppe Meazza. “Biancocelestii” continued the upward trend with an important success on the field of the artist Frosinone (1-0), and now, in the debut of the 23rd round of Serie A, they will cheat with a new desperate team to get points for salvation from relegation. With 18 points gathered after 22 matches, Empoli ranks 17th in the championship, being just a long distance away from the “red zone”. What really characterizes Empoli, however, and is a vital aspect that we can use to look for the perfect prognosis is its chaotic style of play. With 27 goals scored and not less than 44 received, ie, on average, 2 goals / match, Empoli continues to score, but especially to receive automatic goals, and such a confrontation, between Lazio and Empoli, tends not to be alien to a new spectacular scenario.
In the last ten direct confrontations between the two bands, Lazio imposed himself five times, while Empoli won the other two;
In the eight direct matches played in Rome since 2000, Empoli never knew the taste of victory. Moreover, the last time Empoli scored “Olimpico” against the lashes dates back barely since March 2007, from a 1-3;
The previous direct dispute took place in the championship tour, when Lazio imposed the “Carlo Castellani” limit, score 1-0;
Probable teams:
Lazio (3-4-1-2): Strakosha – Bastos, Acerbi, Radu – Marusic, Milinkovic – Savic, Leiva, Lulic – Correa – Caicedo, Immobile
Empoli (3-5-2): Provedel- Veseli, Silvestre, Rasmussen- Di Lorenzo, Krunic, Bennacer, Traore, Pasqual- Farias, Caputo
Given the circumstances of this game, we expect a spectacular hostile run. Relying on the chaotic style of the guests and their disastrous defenses, but also on the offensive maturity and the return of the lazi’s form, we believe we will easily assist at least three successes in this dispute.
PREDICTION: Over 2,5 goals @ 1.48
