Lazio
This season, it is not clear what we can expect from the team from Rome. Just when it seems that Lazio has managed to find the desired rhythm, a series of negative results follows almost immediately. Only 2 wins in the last 5 games contributed to the home team entering this match as the fifth-placed Serie A team.
Lazio plays almost identically at home and away, but it is clear that the bots won at home will be the foundation for achieving the desired goal: a place in the Champions League.
In the last round, Lazio managed to drop the advantage and allow the opponent to reverse the results completely, so the home team received a very serious slap. It’s time to react.
Empoli Team News
The general impression is that the Empoli team deserves to be in the middle of the table. And that will likely be their maximum this season as well. With 18 points won, Empoli is in 13th position, safely away from the danger zone but too far away from the fight for Europe.
Only 13 goals scored are still too weak for a more serious result, so they can be satisfied with the current ranking. They have won only 7 points in 8 games, with 12 goals conceded. At the same time, they did not manage to triumph in the last 4 away matches, so we should not expect too favorable a result from them in Rio.

Lazio vs Empoli Prediction
Lazio has to go for the win here, so we can expect a very offensive approach from them. Although Lazio forces a more offensive pace, we have to say that their defense knows how to capitulate quite easily, so it is not excluded that the guests also get a goal. The best example is the 2 conceded goals against Lecce in the last round.
Lazio is very dangerous at home, while Empoli does not excel too far away from home, so the home team is certainly much closer to victory here. We will trust the home team’s offensive line, and here we will try betting on goals.
Without any compromises, Lazio must attack from the first minute, and as Empoli conceded a goal in 7 out of 8 away games this season, it gives us enough “value” to believe that this match can end with at least 3 goals scored.
Last season, both matches between these teams ended with at least 3 goals scored.
