Why Bet on Fiorentina?
Fiorentina is coming into this clash trying to fix things, as they have only won one in their last four fixtures, coming in with a record of 11 wins, five draws and nine losses.
La Viola hopes to please their crowd, especially after the 1-1 draw against Empoli in their most recent match.
They have been a pretty strong team at home, having scored five wins, one draw, and one loss in their last seven home fixtures, keeping clean sheets on 3 of those.
If there is a time to pick up the pace and make their crowd happy, it’d be during this match.
Why Bet on Lazio?
The visitors, Lazio, are coming in from ups and downs, with a draw, two losses, and two wins in their last five clashes. However, they are coming from a victory, and expect to gain momentum, which they are relying on to improve their 12 wins, four draws, and nine losses record.
Even though they have a decent overall campaign, they have been unpredictable as of late. They come having two wins and two losses in their last four.
They also secured a victory over Bayern Munich in the Champions League Round of 16 first leg, and have won 8 out of their last 12 games around all competitions.
Unlike their opponents, who are doing the best at home, Lazio have won five of their last six away games, showcasing that they are at their best on the road.
Final Betting Analysis:Â Fiorentina vs. Lazio
With both teams being at their strongest, Fiorentina at home and Lazio on the road, we are hoping to see one of the best games of the Serie A season here. These clubs have their eyes on Europe for next season, so this encounter is key.
However, this is precisely why it’s hard to see one of them overcoming the other. In the old tale of the strongest spear against the strongest shield, we believe there are high chances of a tie.
Our token is placed on a hard-fought draw in these clubs’ effort to climb a table that is too tight. We’ll bet on a 2-2.
Go for a draw at 3.355. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $235.5 for a total payout of $335.5.
