Lazio vs SPAL: Prediction

Last season, each side each won a match, splitting the head to head series; the Biancocelesti won 4-1 at the Stadio Olimpico while the Biancazzurri won 1-0 at the Stadio Paolo Mazza. In the first leg this season in Matchday 3, Lazio unexpectedly lost to SPAL 2-1.

Lazio enter this match against SPAL winning 11 of the last 12 Serie A matches and being unbeaten in their past 15 matches. On the contrary, SPAL come into this match winning just three of their last 10 matches.

Lazio will look to keep or improve their position at the top of the table while SPAL are looking to get out of the relegation zone.

Prediction: Lazio 3-1 SPAL
