A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Lazio fans are optimistic that the difference between 3rd and SPAL's 18th place in the table will show on the pitch.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Lazio form and stats
Lazio, who have the most scored goals (30) at home in Serie A, have been outstanding at home so far in the Serie A with 8 wins, 2 draws and only 0 losses. Lazio haven’t lost a game in 15 attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus Inter, 129 days ago. The Lazio fans aren't used to losing here at Stadio Olimpico and will expect new points from this game. Lazio has played ten games in a row here without a defeat.
The home team returns to Stadio Olimpico after being equal after 90 minutes with Roma (placed 4th) on their last time out; the Serie A game ended 1-1. Prior to that, an away loss at Napoli in the Coppa Italia.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Lazio as they have a new game in only three days, a Serie A match thankfully also at home. Hellas Verona are visiting.
Goals are plentiful at Stadio Olimpico in the league this season as Lazio has scored 30 goals here in 10 home games. Lazio are not conceding a lot of goals here at Stadio Olimpico in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 8 from 10 matches.
SPAL form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for SPAL so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 2-1-8 (win-draw-lose).
SPAL failed to get anything from their last game, a Serie A home match vs Bologna (placed 11th) that ended with defeat 1-3. Before that one, a nice away victory 2-1 at Atalanta.
As mentioned above, the bookmakers do not believe the away team will get anything from this match. Checking SPAL's match history for similar games we find five matches. The home team won 4 of these as expected, 2 of them by at least two goals. SPAL managed 0 draws and 1 surprise win.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting SPAL as they have only managed to score 6 times from 11 away games in the league. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as SPAL have conceded 17 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
