Lazio vs Empoli Prediction & Betting Tips - Serie A

Prediction published on 11/05/2024, 21:48  by Sridhar in Serie A Predictions

With relegation still a possibility, Empoli travels to Lazio, hoping to get some points from this trip. The Serie A matchday 36 at the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday will have the hosts start in seventh place with 56 points, while the visitors are 17th with 32 points. Lazio are four points behind sixth-placed Roma, but they are only one point ahead of Napoli. They were held to a 2-2 draw by Monza last time out, but with others dropping points as well, the hosts stayed in seventh place. Lazio are unbeaten in four matches and have five wins from their last seven league games, so there’s enough in their recent form to give confidence. The record gets better at this venue, where Lazio have won their last three league games, two of those by a 1-0 score.

Empoli start this round two points above the bottom three, with the threat of relegation still hovering around. They were beaten 2-0 in the reverse fixture and are coming off a 0-0 draw against Frosinone. That extended what has been a poor recent form, with Empoli losing six and drawing one while winning only two. Seven of those matches saw them fail to score, and that remains a worry for the visitors. In fact, they have the worst scoring record in the division, with only 26 goals to their name. Part of their problem is their poor recent run on the road, where they have struggled. Empoli lost their last four away league games without scoring, underscoring how tough it has been for them.
