This season’s Serie A campaign so far has been a major success for Lazio and boss Simone Inzaghi. The Eagles head into Saturday afternoon’s home game with Sampdoria in Serie A on a superb run of form.
The team from the Italian capital are on a 13-match unbeaten run in the Serie A, including winning their last ten outings in the Italian top-flight.
The home side’s recent run of form has put them just four points behind Inter in second and a further two behind leaders Juventus. However, Inzaghi’s team have a game in-hand on the top two. While the Scudetto would be a fantastic aim for Lazio, securing a Champions League spot is a more realistic target for Inzaghi’s team.
A key to their stellar campaign of late has been a potency in front of goal, as they have scored at least twice in 13 of their last 15 matches in Serie A.
Their recent home record is also good, as Inzaghi’s team are unbeaten in ten Serie A games at the Stadio Olimpico. They have also been free-scoring of late in the Italian top-flight, scoring at least two goals in seven of their last eight league games.
Sampdoria have endured a poor Serie A campaign. Claudio Ranieri’s team are just five points above the relegation zone after an inconsistent recent run of league form.
Despite their lowly position in the table, there have been signs of things improving for the visitors, as they have picked up four points from their last two league games, including last time out when they hammered Brescia 5-1.
Their away form has been highly inconsistent of late in the Italian top-flight, with just two wins in their last 13 outings on their travels in Serie A.
Forebet predicts that Lazio will continue their recent stellar form in the Italian top-flight by recording a victory in a low-scoring encounter.
