On Wednesday evening, Lazio host Brescia at the Stadio Olimpico in Serie A, as the home side look to finish second place in the Italian top-flight.
Lazio have enjoyed a very good campaign in the Italian top-flight and at one point looked the most likely challengers to champions Juventus. However, a poor run of form after the break ended Simone Inzaghi’s team’s hopes of winning the Scudetto.
The team from the Italian capital recorded a 5-1 win at Verona, which was their second straight win after beating Cagliari in the previous match. A horror run of four defeats in their previous five league matches before the back-to-back wins proved fatal to their title chances.
Lazio’s recent league games have been high-scoring of late, as nine of their last ten matches have produced over 2.5 goals.
The Eagles have been strong all season in Serie A. However, they have suffered defeat in two of their previous three home games in the Italian top-flight. Their recent home games have continued the trends of high-scoring home matches in Serie A.
Brescia have very little to play for in this penultimate league game of the season, as they have already suffered relegation to Serie B. A run of just two wins in their previous 20 matches in the Italian top-flight has played a crucial role in the visitor’s demotion this season.
A poor defence has led the visitors conceding at least two goals in seven of their previous nine top-flight matches. That poor defensive record has contributed to over 2.5 goals scored in their previous six Serie A matches.
Brescia have struggled for results on their travels in the Italian top-flight, having failed to win any of their previous ten league games on the road.
Forebet predicts that Lazio will record a victory in a high-scoring game, which could improve the Eagles chances of finishing above rivals Inter and Atalanta.
