Lazio’s title challenge in Serie A took a heavy dent on Wednesday as they lost 3-2 to Atalanta in the 27th round of matches. They will hope for a better turn when they host struggling Fiorentina. Lazio heads to this clash still placed second with 62 points and Fiorentina are 13th with 31 points. A place in the Champions League seems assured for Lazio but they will wish for better – dethroning Juventus, who are four points ahead. The

Loss to Atalanta was a blow, as they’d have closed that gap to just a point; they will want to address that in the Fiorentina game. The ~Rome based side will have much to address going to the Fiorentimna game, having blown a 2-0 lead to fall to Atalanta, with a second half capitulation. One thing though, Lazio have carried their scoring form established before the league was forced to a break. They have scored at least twice in each of their last four matches now, but will have to address their defensive shortcomings having conceded six goals in their last four matches and kept one clean sheet. Still, they have the second best defence in the league. They are an even better side at home, having gone 11unbeaten. They have failed to score in just one of the 11 matches at home and in eight of the 11, they have scored two or more goals. They haven’t lost a Serie A match at home, after playing 14 this season. They have won 11 of the 14 home matches in Serie A but have conceded in seven of the 14.

On the other hand, Fiorentina resumed action with a 1-1 draw with bottom of the table side, Brescia. It leaves them with just one win in eight matches, while they have just one clean sheet in the last seven matches. against Brescia, it was a rather dull affair as they came from down to claim a point and they will need a better show here. They have three straight draws going to this game and are just six points above the relegation zone, which leaves this as a very important game. In their 13 away matches this season, in Serie A, Fiorentina have registered four wins. They have beaten Milan and Napoli away from home and will want to claim another big scalp here. However, with just three away clean sheets, that would seem an ambition too far when facing the second best scorers in the league. They have scored in nine of their 13 away matches, and perhaps this could be a boost against the side with the second best defence in the league.
