Spezia, Recent FormAn important point secured against Fiorentina will have left Spezia quite happy with their 1-1 draw. They came away from that fixture with 35% of the possession and clocked up 4 attempts on goal with 3 on target. By comparison, Fiorentina managed 19 attempts on goal, with 4 on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 6, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 6 goals and some valuable points in the process. With no goals in 4 of their last 6 matches at home, they are showing signs of a problem finding the net at their home ground. This season, their defensive frailties have certainly been apparent, having conceded at least 1 goal in 25 of their 29 league games.
Whilst they have only lost 1 of their last 6 games there will be concern over the amount of points dropped with 4 draws from those games. They've had an unusually high number of draws when playing at home this season, with 8 draws in 15 home league games.
M'Bala Nzola will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 4 goals in the last 6 league games for Spezia.
Lazio, Recent FormLazio will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 2-1 winners in their home fixture against Juventus. Their share of possession in that meeting was 50%, while racking up 9 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target. Juventus had 11 shots on goal with 4 on target.
Manager Maurizio Sarri will be pleased with his team's performances recently, having only conceded 1 in their last 6 games, while still managing to score a respectable 7 goals. With goals notched up in 5 of their past 6 matches, they are certainly showing some goal-scoring consistency of late. They have shown some resilient performances away from home of late with 5 clean sheets in their last 6 matches away from home.
They have been performing well recently, both home and away, and remain unbeaten in their last 7 games.
With 3 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league, Ciro Immobile has given the travelling Lazio support something to shout about on the road.
A defeat for Spezia in their last match against Lazio was not completely unexpected, but they will have been disappointed to lose by 4 goals.
The Spezia defence has struggled against i Biancocelesti in past meetings, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 5 games. In their recent meetings Spezia have struggled to keep Lazio at bay, having conceded 18 goals in their last 5 games.
Spezia will be determined to get something from this game having lost the last 5 times they've met Lazio in the league and not won this fixture for 5 games in a row.
Sergej Milinković-Savić has scored in each of Lazio's last 0 league games against Spezia.
Spezia manager Leonardo Semplici has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Kevin Agudelo (Tendon), Julius Beck (Physical discomfort), Mattia Caldara (Physical discomfort), Emil Holm (Physical discomfort), Viktor Kovalenko (Virus), João Moutinho (Muscle) and Jacopo Sala (Virus) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Lazio manager Maurizio Sarri has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
