Latest news
Empoli
In the 34th round, Empoli suffered a 1-2 defeat away to Fiorentina, and this result clearly frustrated their fans. The first half, in particular, drew heavy criticism as the team appeared uncertain and made too many errors. Among the fan base, harsh assessments were heard, such as: "Playing like this in crucial matches is asking for relegation to Serie B." In the second half, the "Blues" managed to reduce the deficit with a precise strike from Fazzini, but lacked both the energy and ideas to do more.
The team faces a challenging situation with their squad. Liam Henderson will miss the match due to suspension, and six players are sidelined with injuries, five of whom have cruciate ligament damage: Christian KouamΓ© (out until December), Nicolas Haas (out until August), Pietro Pellegri (out for the season), Saba Sazonov (out until June), and Youssef Maleh (medial ligament, out until June). Additionally, Szymon Ε»urkowski remains unavailable due to a knee injury. These significant losses severely limit rotation options.
Lazio Rome
In their previous round, Lazio played a dramatic home match against Parma, which ended in a 2-2 draw. Jakub Ondrejka opened the scoring in the 3rd minute and completed his brace right after the break. The "Eagles" clawed their way back into the game thanks to Pedro-the veteran first pounced on a rebound off the goalkeeper and then headed in a cross from Luca Pellegrini to level the score. After the match, head coach Marco Baroni stated, "This team never gives up. Pedro is timeless; he has proven his worth once again."
As for the lineup, Manuel Lazzari remains doubtful due to physical discomfort. Also sidelined are Nuno Tavares, who is out with a muscle injury and expected to return in mid-May, and Patric, who is dealing with an ankle injury and will be out until early June.
β½οΈGoal Prediction
Empoli are mired in a prolonged slump, having not tasted victory since December last year and consistently faltering in defense-conceding at least two goals in each of their last four matches. Their defensive woes, coupled with inconsistent form, leave them vulnerable against Lazio. The capital club, on the other hand, are in fine form and capitalize effectively on scoring opportunities. Considering these factors, our editorial team is betting on Lazio's total goals to be over 1.5.
π©Corners Prediction
Lazio play an attacking brand of football, favoring ball control and taking the initiative. This is reflected in their corner statistics: they share the top spot in Serie A with Inter, averaging 6.0 corners per match. Even against opponents who play defensively, the Romans regularly apply pressure down the flanks and maintain a high tempo. Given Lazio's attacking mindset and Empoli's shaky defense, our editorial team is betting on Lazio's total corners to be over 4.5.
Editor's Prediction
The match between Empoli and Lazio could once again favor the visitors. Lazio have been dominant in away games against this opponent, winning five consecutive Serie A matches on Empoli's turf. Meanwhile, the hosts find themselves in the relegation zone, struggling to accumulate points. Given the significant difference in class and current form of the teams, a bet on Lazio's victory seems well-founded.
