Fiorentina’s search for improved form in the calendar year pits them against their recent nemesis, Lazio. This Serie A match to be played at the Stadio Artemio Franchi on Monday will have a bearing on the European qualification spots. The hosts are eighth with 38 points, and the visitors are seventh with 40 points ahead of this round. With the sixth-placed Roma only on 41 points, the winner here will have a good chance of improving their chances of finishing in the top six. That’s where the worry is for Fiorentina, who have won just one of their last seven league games since the turn of the calendar year. Four defeats during this run have erased some of the good work they did earlier. Facing Lazio adds to those worries, as the Viola have failed to win any of their last five Serie A matches against these visitors.

Lazio are coming off a 2-0 win over Torino for their third win in four competitive games. Their form in the league, too, has been pristine, with six wins out of their last nine games. While this has certainly kept them in the European hunt, the visitors still have a bit of work to do. They have been alternating losses with wins in their last four matches, ending in that win over Torino. Halting that streak with a win will see them edge closer to the top-five or stay right behind their city rivals, Roma. Interestingly, the visitors have found form on the road in recent games, with four wins across their last five league road trips. The only reverse in that sequence was a 3-1 loss at Atalanta.
