Lazio form and stats

Overall stats at home this season for Lazio are 9-4-5 (wins-draw-losses). Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Lazio, their manager S. Inzaghi and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

Happy days for Lazio in their previous game, a Coppa Italia match away at Atalanta that ended with a 2-0 victory. In the preceding match a 2-1 victory visiting Cagliari.
