Lazio form and stats

Last season, Lazio's Europa League journey ended in the group stage.

1-2-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie A numbers at home for Lazio so far this season. On the other hand, in the Champions League, Lazio has performed like this (both home and away): 1 win, 2 draws and 0 losses.

It's back home for Lazio, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Crotone away with the result 2-0. Joaquín Correa and Ciro Immobile found the net in that victory. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a Serie A home game that ended 1-1 versus Juventus.

The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Lazio handle that role? We have found four games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are one win, one draw and two defeats.

The Lazio fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 5 in 4 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 7 goals have been conceded.
