Lazio will take on Fiorentina at the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday, 26 January in a big match in the race for the top four in Serie A.
Lazio come into the match in fourth position, two points clear of Juventus in fifth and six points clear of Fiorentina in sixth. A win here would see them nine points clear of Fiorentina and potentially five points clear of Juventus if they lose to Napoli.
The match is therefore arguably more important for Fiorentina who can ill afford to fall nine points behind at this stage of the season.
As part of our latest round of Serie A betting tips, here is our Lazio vs Fiorentina prediction.

Lazio vs Fiorentina prediction: Fiorentina's woes to continue
Key Stats
- Lazio have lost just one of their last six matches in all competitions.
- Fiorentina have picked up just one point from their last three league away matches.
- Both teams have scored in five of Fiorentina's last six matches in all competitions.
Correct score prediction: Lazio 2-1 Fiorentina
Lazio come into this one in much better form than their opponents and home advantage should see them get the job done. The visitors have still been scoring goals in recent weeks despite their rocky form so we don't envisage Lazio running out as winners with a clean sheet.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Lazio are favourites
- HOME: 21/20 (2.05) – 48.8%
- DRAW: 12/5 (3.40) – 29.4%
- AWAY: 13/5 (3.60) – 27.8%
*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
The Lazio vs Fiorentina odds show that the hosts are expected to come out on top on Sunday, but their price of 21/20 is perhaps a little generous to punters. Ladbrokes have given them a 48.8% chance of picking up the three points while Fiorentina have been given just a 27.8% chance of getting the win.

Lazio preview: On the cusp of a great season
Lazio are having a very good season so far, both in Serie A and in the Europa League and they are potentially just four months away from one of the greatest seasons in their history. A win over Fiorentina would be a huge step towards securing a top-four finish which could allow them to put more of their efforts into the Europa League.
Predicted lineup: Provedel (GK), Hysaj, Gila, Gigot, Tavares, Guendouzi, Rovella, Isaksen, Dia, Zaccagni, Castellanos

Fiorentina preview: Need to stop the slide
Fiorentina had a brilliant first half of the season and this time last month they were still seen as dark horses in the title race. However, a dramatic drop in form and results has seen them slide down to sixth and they are now almost in must-win territory if they are to finish inside the top four at the end of the season.
Predicted lineup: De Gea (GK), Dodo, Ranieri, Comuzzo, Gosens, Adli, Mandragora, Folorunsho, Colpani, Gundmundsson, Kean

Player to watch: David de Gea
Question marks were raised when David de Gea took a year out from football last season after leaving Manchester United but the Spanish goalkeeper has proven to be a shrewd signing for Fiorentina. A particular highlight was his double penalty save against AC Milan earlier in the season and he remains one of the best shot stoppers in Europe.
