Fiorentina’s six-game unbeaten streak came to a halt last time out. Crystal Palace fired three past them in the Conference League quarter-final first leg at Selhurst Park
Aside from the loss, Viola have been resurgent across all fronts. This is starkly evident in their Serie A campaign – they now sit five points clear of the drop zone after spending the majority of the opening half of the season occupying the relegation spots.
Hellas Verona, beaten 1-0, were their latest league victim. The attention now turns to the Biancocelesti, who remain winless against Fiorentina in four successive meetings.
The hosts have a huge list of players sidelined: Fabiano Parisi, Albert Gudmundsson (red card), Nicolo Fagioli (yellow card accumulation), Niccolo Fortini, Tariq Lamptey and Manor Solomon. Moise Kean could also remain excluded.
Lazio travel to Florence with five injuries. Samuel Gigot, Patric, Ivan Provedel, Nicolo Rovella and Mattia Zaccagni will miss this clash.
Maurizio Sarri’s men have had a poor season per their potential. They lie 13 points off fierce rivals Roma, who occupy the final European spot.
A top half finish in Serie A is now their season target with seven games left.
Lazio needed Tijjani Noslin’s late strike to salvage a 1-1 draw with Parma at Stadio Olimpico – a result that ended their three-match winning streak.

Whispers Predicts: Fiorentina 1-1 Lazio
A draw as the outright match result at 2/1 offers clear value. The numbers don’t lie: each of their last six head-to-heads have been extremely, with two draws in the process. Their current form also indicates that this is going to be a low-scoring stalemate.
Lazio’s away matches have featured a league-low five first-half goals this season. Fiorentina haven’t scored a first-half home goal since Moise Kean’s winning strike against Pisa five matches ago. Under 0.5 first-half goals at 8/5 is a realistic scenario.
Both teams to score at 17/20 offers value for money, as a league-high 11 of Fiorentina’s 15 home matches this season saw both teams find the net.
In total, only two of Lazio’s 15 away league matches this term have produced over 2.5 goals. Under 2.5 total goals at 13/20 is also something worth looking out for – with each of Lazio’s last three league games staying under the mark.
> Both teams to score at 17/20 | Likelihood: Likely
> Match result - draw at 2/1 | Likelihood: Probable
> Under 0.5 first-half goals at 8/5 | Likelihood: Possible
> Under 2.5 total goals at 13/20 | Likelihood: Very Likely
