They have also only drawn seven of those, meaning the remaining 12 matches played without Immobile were all losses.
The absence of the Lazio captain was heavily felt in the lethargic 2-0 loss to Bologna yesterday, with backup striker Vedat Muriqi failing to match the level of the 31-year-old Italian star.
