Lazio form and stats

Let's have a look at how Lazio performed last season in the Serie A: They landed a 6th position in the league table after playing out 21 victories, 5 draws and 12 defeats. In total they scored 61 and conceded 55 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 8 - drew 2 and lost 9 with 25/32 goals scored/conceded.

It's a day of discovery for Lazio as they finally learn what impact all the hours of pre-season training, along with the changes in personnel, have had on their performance in an official game. It's never easy knowing what to expect based on friendly games, of which Lazio have played six with the results W3-D3-L0 (win-draw-lost). In these games Lazio has scored 20 goals and conceded 5 times.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: three - one - six (Empoli wins - draws - Lazio wins). As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), seven had two or less.
