Prediction published on 12/04/2024, 06:43  by Sridhar in Serie A Predictions

Lazio will look to get back to winning ways in their quest for European qualification as they take on Serie A basement boys Salernitana. This match at the Stadio Olimpico on Friday will have the hosts starting eighth with 46 points and the visitors 20th with 15 points. Lazio came into this match after a 1-0 loss to Roma in the city derby at this venue last time out, making it six defeats from their last eight matches. The hosts are four points behind sixth-placed Atalanta, who have a game in hand. To have any hopes of getting into the European qualification places, Lazio will have to win here at any cost. Their record in home matches hasn’t been exemplary in recent times, as they lost three of the last four home league games, although they won the latest in that sequence.

Salernitana are only waiting for mathematical relegation, as they are practically out of contention for safety places. They start this round 12 points behind, and with only 21 points up for grabs, Salernitana are racing against time. They did come back from two goals down to draw 2-2 against Sassuolo last time out, but that only extended their winless run. The visitors are now without a win in 14 competitive matches, drawing three and losing 11. The record is equally poor in Serie A, with Salernitana drawing three and losing ten of their last 13 league games. With their fate hanging in the balance, Salernitana may have to go all out for points, but their away record suggests they could be out of their depth. Salernitana have drawn two and lost three of their last five away league games, failing to score in three of those.
