Lazio to Win
Lazio strengthen their push to finish as runners-up in Serie A this term when they recorded a significant 2-1 win over Juventus last weekend – a triumph that provided their third victory in a row in the division. A test against Spezia should be easier for Maurizio Sarri’s impressive Biancocelesti to tackle, and having notched a whopping eight times in their last two encounters with their hosts, Lazio are favoured again here. With those factors aligned, our first Spezia vs Lazio prediction recommends a stake on an away win.
Mattia Zaccagni to Score Anytime
Mattia Zaccagni scored Lazio’s crucial winning goal against Juventus last weekend and the winger has routinely been a source of inspiration for his team this season. The 27-year-old has bagged ten goals overall in Serie A since August and Zaccagni scored one of those against Spezia back in October. Zaccagni is playing with a lot of confidence at present and the second of our football betting tips advises bettors to back him to score anytime again.
