Lazio, Recent FormLazio were forced to settle for a share of the points in their last league match, which wound up a 2-2 draw against Monza. They achieved 41% possession in that match and had 9 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Monza's tally of 17 efforts at goal, 7 of which were on target.
Manager Igor Tudor will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 9 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 4 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 games at Stadio Olimpico di Roma .
They have had a strong run of form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 4 wins along the way.
Empoli, Recent FormA 0-0 draw and a point gained against Frosinone in their previous meeting will have been considered a fairly decent for Empoli last time out. In that game they had 47% possession and managed 7 attempts on goal, with 1 on target, compared to Frosinone who had 17 attempts and 5 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 4 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 7 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have failed to score in 4 of their last 6 games.
They're experiencing a relativley poor spell of form on the road, having lost 4 of their last 6 away games despite notching up a couple of wins.
M'Baye Niang will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against Lazio in this match, having already scored 2 goals in his last 6 away games for Empoli.
It was no surpirise that the last time these two teams met Lazio came out on top, winning the match 0-2.
Lazio have managed to keep a clean sheet against Azzurri in each of their previous 2 meetings. Lazio will be confident of finding the net in this one against Azzurri, with an impressive scoring record of at least 1 goal in their previous 10 encounters between the two sides.
Empoli have lost the last 2 times they've faced Lazio in the league and have failed to win in their last 10 encounters.
There is only really one injury concern for the Lazio manager Igor Tudor ahead of this clash, with Mario Gila (Thigh) missing out, which gives Tudor a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
The injury list is starting to mount up for Empoli manager Davide Nicola with Alberto Cerri (Muscle), Ardian Ismajli (Thigh) and Sebastian Walukiewicz (Thigh) all unavailable for selection, and Tyronne Ebuehi (Cruciate ligament) out for the rest of the season.
