Lazio vs Spezia Predictions

Lazio -1 at 1/1 – ★★☆

Lazio to win 3-0 at 17/2 – ★☆☆

• Lazio’s last four wins have all been by more than a one-goal margin.
• Spezia have lost all three of their away league games this season, failing to score a goal and conceding six.
• Lazio scored 10 goals in their two Serie A wins over Spezia last season.

Biancocelesti part of the chasing pack

Lazio broke into Serie A’s top five last term, but a genuine tilt at Champions League qualification is expected this time around – particularly with a couple of heavy hitters struggling. 14 points from their first seven games represents a fine start for Maurizio Sarri’s men, and Sunday’s visit of Spezia represents an opportunity to extend their good run.

Indeed, Lazio have won four of their seven league games this term, only losing to early Serie A leaders Napoli. Sarri’s team netted 10 goals across two high-scoring (6-1 and 4-3) wins over Spezia last season, and have retained their attacking threat – only Inter, Roma and Napoli have managed more Serie A shots on target this season. Each of Lazio’s last four wins, meanwhile, have been by more than a one-goal margin.

Spezia have lost all three of their away league games this season, and as such, look unlikely to get much joy in Rome. Luca Gotti’s men have taken eight points so far this term – a decent start for the former Udinese coach, but have yet to even score on their travels in Serie A, while no team in the division has created fewer expected goals (4.7 xG).

Lazio set to beat handicap

Spezia’s attacking issues mean Lazio should not have too much work to do to beat a -1 handicap at the Stadio Olimpico, particularly given they have averaged two goals per home league match this term.

We’re tipping Lazio to win by more than one goal as our main selection, while a routine 3-0 home victory appears a decent correct score play.
