Fiorentina vs Lazio: Recent History
Fiorentina had been in strong form in Serie A this season and once flirted with fourth spot, but in recent weeks their energy has started to fade, with the team winning just one in their last seven league games, losing to Bologna, Lecce, Inter and Sassuolo.
Lazio have been inconsistent over the last few weeks as well, picking up wins over Torino, Cagliari and Bayern Munich but losing to Atalanta and Bologna, leaving them trailing the pack in the race for a top four finish. The Biancocelesti currently sit eight points behind fourth place Bologna.
When these two teams met back in October, Lazio edged out a 1-0 win over Fiorentina after a goal from Ciro Immobile in the 95th minute.
