Chievo vs Lazio
Italian Serie A
Date: Sunday, 2nd December 2018
Kick-off at 17.00 UK/ 18.00 CET
Venue: Stadio Marc’Antonio Bentegodi (Verona).
The worst team in the league hosts one of the best sides in the competition. Chievo opens their gates to welcome Lazio, this Sunday, as part of their 14th round fixtures, in the top division of Italian Football.
Lazio occupies the fourth spot in the table after registering 23 points from their 13 matches. Their record reads seven wins, two draws and four losses. Lazio has scored a total of 19 goals in return for 15.
Chievo is placed dead-last in the table, and has not recorded a single win yet, this season. Their record reads, zero wins, four draws and nine losses. They have just one point on the table, as three points were deducted by the Italian League, for malpractices in book-keeping.
Lazio played out an exciting draw against AC Milan, last match-day, at home. The final scoreline was 1-1. Their cause appeared lost after Wallace scored an own goal against the home team. But they held on and scored the equalizer in the 90+4th minute.
Chievo had a minor moral victory last match-day, considering they held on to a draw with Napoli, on the road. The match ended goalless.
The home team has absolutely no chance against one of the best teams in Italy. Chievo are probable candidates for relegation next season, while Lazio plies their trade in European competitions.
Lazio recorded a huge win in the last head-to-head tie, tipping the already skewed scales in their direction. They are on a four-game unbeaten run, and has lost only three of their last 15 ties.
Chievo is winless in their last five matches at home, and is on a ten-game overall winless streak. Seven of those ten were losses.
Lazio is also unbeaten in their last three games on the road.
Lazio will win this game, and both the halves.
