LiontipsFiorentina vs Lazio. Prediction and Betting Tips for 2022-23 Serie A (October 10, 2022).
Command Analysis
Fiorentina got a few new players in the summer and started the new season with a goal of finishing in the European competition zone. However, their performance in the first eight rounds was inconsistent - Vincenzo Italiano's men managed to get only two victories, an underwheling result for such an ambitious team.
Currently, the Violets are in 11th place in the Serie A table with nine points to their name. They are four points clear of the relegation zone and seven points behind Roma, who are 6th. Last weekend, Fiorentina lost to Atalanta (0:1); that was their third defeat this season. In the Conference League, Italiano's men beat Hearts (3:0).
Lazio are eager to get a ticket to the Champions League, and they certainly have the quality to achieve that. Maurizio Sarri's charges have enjoyed a decent start to the season - they suffered only one defeat in eight games, to Napoli (1:2). Last weekend, the Eagles crushed Spezia (4:0) - this was their third win in a row. It allowed the team to retain the 5th line in the Serie A standings. They are trailing the top-4 by two points.
In the Europa League, on the other hand, Lazio won only one game out of three. After a high-scoring victory over Feyenoord (4:2), Sarri's side got devastated by Mitjylland (1:5) and drew against SK Sturm (0:0). The Eagles are 3rd in their group.

Tip and bets
Despite Fiorentina not yet being in their optimal form, the team demonstrates solid football with potential to improve. The Violets have many problems, but they have not lost one home match this season. Lazio, who won only one away match out of six, seem unlikely to break this streak.
Our prediction – Asian handicap (0) to Fiorentina
The Violets look solid at the home arena and have a slight edge over Lazio in this fixture. The Eagles haven't been impressive on road trips, so we believe that Fiorentina will get the upper hand today. However, we do not expect a wide-margin win - the hosts are too cautious and once they score they will probably focus on maintaining the advantage.
Second bet - Fiorentina to win by 1 goal
