Two sides leveled on ten points in the Italian top flight after the first half dozen of fixtures meet on Sunday afternoon as Lazio welcome Empoli to Stadio Olympico.
Lazio got off to what can only be described as a slow start to the 2024-25 season. The Eagles won just two of their opening five league games, suffering defeats at the hands of Udinese and Fiorentina but that all changed overnight. Marco Baroni's men enter this weekend's game with a run of three consecutive wins across all competitions after registering victories over the likes of Torino (Serie A), Dynamo Kyiv and Nice (Europa League).
Empoli meanwhile have been consistent throughout the campaign so far. The visitors kicked off things in the 2024-25 campaign with a win over US Catanzaro in the Coppa Italia at home where they scored four times while conceding just once. Roberto D'Aversa's side have maintained that form somehow, going unbeaten in all six of their league matches (four wins and two draws).
Lazio vs Empoli Betting Tips: Both teams to score
Many expected Lazio to struggle offensively after losing their all-time top scorer Ciro Immobile to Besiktas in the summer but boss Marco Baron has dealt with it well. The Eagles struck four times against Nice in Europe in midweek and have found the back of the net in all their league matches this season.
Empoli played out a goalless draw with Fiorentina last weekend but the Azzurri have a great record when it comes to scoring goals on the road this season. Roberto D'Aversa’s men boast at least a goal from all their four away games this season and I fancy them to extend that run on Sunday.
