Salernitana vs Lazio Predictions

• Lazio’s tally of 37 goals in Serie A this term is only bettered by Napoli, Inter, Atalanta and Milan.
• Salernitana, meanwhile, have conceded a league-high 42 goals in 22 Serie A matches.
• The hosts have conceded multiple goals in seven of their last 10 games in Serie A, shipping a total of 25 in those matches.

Can Biancocelesti get back to winning ways?

Lazio claimed the advantage in their Europa Conference League tie with Cluj on Thursday, as Ciro Immobile’s goal fired Maurizio Sarri’s 10-man hosts to a 1-0 success. However, Lazio are winless in three games in Serie A following last week’s damaging 2-0 reverse against top-four rivals Atalanta, and they need to get their quest for Champions League football back on track. Fortunately for Sarri, upcoming opponents Salernitana are in dire form and adapting to a new face in the dugout.

Indeed, last week’s loss to fellow strugglers Verona made it one win in 10 games for Salernitana, a run which spelled the end for Davide Nicola – just a month after he was fired and reinstated. Paulo Sousa has been named as his replacement, and his first task will be to sort out their leaky backline. Indeed, Salernitana have shipped multiple goals in seven of their last 10 contests, conceding a total of 25 goals throughout that run, which included an 8-2 rout at the hands of Atalanta.

With Salernitana’s record of 42 goals conceded this season the highest in Serie A, a Lazio side with 37 goals to their name in the competition – a tally only bettered by four teams – should get some joy. Lazio have hit multiple goals in three of their last six league games, including a 4-0 thrashing of Milan, though their inconsistent results – including draws with Verona and Fiorentina – may make punters wary of backing them outright.

Sousa set for chastening start?

With Lazio desperate to avenge a shock defeat in October’s return fixture and Salernitana’s backline shipping goals left, right and centre, we’re backing the visitors to score a minimum of two goals as our main selection – Immobile is fit and firing once again, but the Biancocelesti’s inconsistent run may turn punters away from backing a result.

Meanwhile, a 2-1 triumph for the visitors could represent a decent correct score prediction – five of Salernitana’s last seven games have featured goals at both ends.
