Spezia vs Lazio Prediction & Match Preview

Steffen Schmidt - April 13, 2023

Spezia vs Lazio
Italian Serie A
Date: 14 April 2023, Friday
Kick-off at 19:45 UK / 20:45 CET
Venue: Stadio Alberto Picco (La Spezia).

Lazio continued their impressive spell of form last weekend when they dispatched Juventus in the derby of the Matchday.

Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and Mattia Zaccaghi were on target for I Biancocelecti in a 2-1 victory in the capital on the occasion.

Maurizio Sarri’s troops are now seven points clear of Inter Milan in fifth place and are on the best way to secure the top-four finish come May.

Lazio now have six wins and a draw in the previous seven league outings. They have been very difficult to break down, allowing no more than one goal in the process.

Lazio were on a streak of nine straight league clashes with fewer than three goals scored. It came to an end last weekend against Juventus but we would not be surprised to see the outfit returning to the old habits here against the low-scoring Spezia side.

Spezia are one position and four points above the relegation zone going into this 30th round matchup against Lazio.

The hosts will go into this off the back of successive 1-1 draws to Salernitana and Fiorentina. The fact they’ve held in-form Fiorentina to a 1-1 stalemate last Saturday at Stadio Artemio Franchi says something about the team’s defensive performances.

Four of Spezia’s last five league games have ended with fewer than three goals scored. Will we see the continuation of such a trend on Friday night?

Spezia vs Lazio Head-to-head

• Spezia have a dreadful record against Lazio as I Biancocelecti have won all six head to head encounters in this matchup.
• Lazio have scored 21 and conceded only 6 goals in these 6 affairs against Spezia.
• I Biancocelesti have notched at least four goals in each of the previous three victories over Spezia, including this season’s 4-0 drubbing at Stadio Olimpico.

Spezia vs Lazio Prediction

Both Spezia and Lazio have been playing tight, defensive-minded football of late. The hosts desperately need points to stay above the relegation line and we expect them to park the bus against one of the hottest teams in the league on Friday.

The Under 2.5 goals FT is our primary betting option her at the odds of 1.72, while the braver tipsters can test their luck with Lazio’s 1-0 victory as the correct score prediction at the 6.00 odds.
