Spezia vs Lazio Predictions

• Lazio have gone unbeaten through their last seven league games, winning six and only conceding one goal.
• Spezia have only won one of their last 12 matches.
• The hosts have seen under 2.5 goals scored in five of their last seven Serie A games.
• Lazio have only conceded 20 goals in their 29 league games this term – the best record in Serie A.

Biancocelesti looking good for silver

While Napoli have – rightly – seized the headlines in Serie A this campaign, Maurizio Sarri’s Lazio have also enjoyed a terrific season, sitting second with a seven-point cushion to those outside the top four. Lazio tightened their grip on that runner-up spot with a huge win over Juventus at the Stadio Olimpico last week, and they will be confident of maintaining their superb run when they visit Spezia on Friday – with the hosts still not out of the woods in the relegation dogfight.

Lazio are unbeaten in seven league games following their win over Juve, which came as the result of a disciplined big-game performance against a side they hadn’t beaten since 2019. The Biancocelesti – despite Sarri’s reputation for enterprising football – have built their campaign on being a tough nut to crack, only conceding one goal in their last seven league games and seeing their defence breached just 20 times in 29 league outings this term – the best record in the Italian top flight.

Given Lazio’s defensive solidity, a goalfest appears unlikely when they go to Spezia, who have only lost one of their last six games but have seen four of those contests end level. Leonardo Semplici’s men have been involved in several tight contests of late, seeing five of their last seven games contain under 2.5 goals, and only two Serie A teams have scored fewer than their 25 goals this term – a shortcoming which has prevented them pulling further than four points clear of danger.

Lazio set for low-scoring win

Given Lazio’s excellent form and Spezia’s attacking shortcomings, backing the Biancocelesti to win a low-scoring game appears a strong bet for Friday’s game – none of Lazio’s last 15 games have contained over 3.5 goals and backing more of the same allows punters to keep several scorelines in play.

Meanwhile, a 2-0 away win could represent a solid correct score prediction – Spezia were beaten 4-0 by the Biancocelesti on their travels in October, but they have undoubtedly tightened things up since then.
