Lazio vs Palermo Betting Tips

Lazio’s revival may have been put on pause. After finishing third in 2014-15 and returning to European football, Lazio have endured an erratic and inconsistent first stretch of 12 games winning six and losing six. The biggest concern for the club will be a fragility against some of Serie A’s better teams. In their last two games before the international break, they suffered a 3-1 home loss to AC Milan and 2-0 defeat to Roma in Rome.

They’ll hope that they can get going against Palermo. They’ve lost three straight games, in fact they haven’t won since beating Torino 3-0 on October 25.

Palermo snapped a three-game win-less run by beating Chievo 1-0 before the international break. As a team, they rely on keeping games tight, blocking up the middle of the field and defending well with men behind the ball.

They’ll be relatively happy with their current 12th place position and they’ll look to frustrate Lazio with a tough defensive game on Sunday.

Three Reasons for Betting Tips

1. Lazio break out of funk

Taking a look at Lazio’s overall performances, we’re confident that they’ll come back refreshed and equalise some of their poor recent form with an important win, especially at home.

2. Palermo won’t control the ball enough

If Lazio are allowed to dominate ball possession at home, we think there’s a good chance that they’ll pick up three points from the game.

3. Covering the Asian Handicap

We think Lazio will take the lead early and they’ll force a game plan change from Palermo, which should ensure that Lazio covers the current Asian Handicap line.
