=8.5ptFiorentina gave up crucial ground in their chase for a place in Europe by the shock draw with SPAL in their last encounter and will be looking to make up for that in a tougher game, when they come up against a Lazio side firmly in the race for a Champions League slot. Fiorentina are three places below the Champions League slots and 10 points out so for them it is safe to safe they are only vying for a Europa League slot. This will be a tough encounter, going by the stakes and both teams’ forms. Fiorentina have picked a draw and four wins in the last five matches while they have three wins, a draw and a loss in their last five home matches, scoring four goals and conceding two. The home side has managed six clean sheets in seven matches, and lost just one of their last 10. At home, they have two losses in 11 matches and in their last 20 matches in Serie A, Fiorentina have lost just three. Lazio, on their part, are still smarting from their heavy loss at Salzburg in the Europa League and the barren draw with AS Roma in the derby may not have done enough to heal their wounds. To rise to second is almost an impossibility for them and they will only try to give their all for a third placed finish. Lazio have not won in their last two outings, drawing once and losing once then winning three of their last five. Away from home, they have also won three, drawn once and lost once, scoring 10 goals but conceding seven. They have two losses in the last 10 matches and four losses in the last 10 away games. In Serie A, Lazio have lost just three of their last 16 away games. Head to head, the two sides have met 47 times, with Fiorentina winning 12 and Lazio 16.
