Lazio vs Chievo Predictions

Lazio head into this game in mixed form, they were 2-0 victors last time out against an Udinese side fighting relegation bringing an end to their 3 game winless streak after away losses to Spal and Milan whilst drawing 2-2 at home to Sassuolo. They sit 7th in the table however are just 3 points adrift of Milan in 4th and a possible Champions League spot so it really is all still to play for.

Chievo have had a nightmare of a season and they sit rock bottom of the table with 11 points, a whole 12 points behind the nearest side Frosinone of whom they beat 1-0 at home in their only league win this season. As you can expect Chievo don’t come into this game in any sort of form, they are winless in their last 13 league games and have lost 10 of those. Relegation is a certainty and honour is all they have to play for now.

Lazio have been decent at home this season winning 9 of their 16 league games, drawing 4 and losing 3. They are good scorers at the Stadio Olimpico netting 1.94 goals per game at home whilst their defence has been a bit shaky, averaging 1.06 goals a game against.

Chievo away from home have been atrocious, losing 10 of their 16 games, drawing 5. They score a measly 0.56 per game and concede a boat load, averaging a whopping 2.19 per game against.

Lazio have an unusually poor home record against Chievo, only winning 4 of their 16 meetings at the Stadio Olimpico however given the respective sides records this season it’s tough to see Chievo pulling off an upset here.

Lazio are the heavy favourites here with the bookmakers and it’s not hard to see why with the away side sitting with just 1 win all season. Chievo have failed to score in 7 of their last 9 away games and for that reason we are backing Lazio to win to nil. On the correct score front we see Lazio running away with this and see them winning 3-0.
