Lazio started the season very poorly in Serie A. In the opening match Simone Inzaghi’s team managed to beat Cagliari with a score of 2:0, but then the Eagles began to disappoint. At the moment, the Romans are only on the 10th line in the table with 10 points in the asset, but they are only two points behind the Champions League zone. Lazio managed to climb to the middle of the table in the last rounds. First they won a 2:1 victory over Bologna, interrupting a series of three unsuccessful matches. In the last round Lazio snatched a 3:2 victory from Torino not without difficulty, scoring both decisive goals in extra time by the referee. Ciro Immobile and Felipe Caicedo scored. Without the help of the Ecuadorian forward, the Eagles would hardly have scored points in St. Petersburg. In the Champions League Lazio had to recoup and did so at the end of the meeting. A 1:1 draw with Zenit dropped the Eagles to second place in the group, but they are just one point behind Borussia Dortmund.
The “blades” were counted clearly stronger. The team played successfully in the last championship, especially on the rivals’ fields. They mainly achieved success because of good defensive play. And not the least role was played by the fact that there were practically no serious personnel losses during the last championship. Sheffield has nothing like it now. Chris Wilder’s wards practically do not score, but the coach does not manage to bring order to the defense. The “blades” are missed a little however in every match. In none of the seven matches in the current league they did manage to defend to zero, although they have conceded to Sheffield more than two goals per match. Due to poor performance in seven matches, the team earned only one point, having played in a draw with the same loser Fulham (1:1) in their home arena. On the road, there are three consecutive defeats in the current championship. namely from Aston Villa (0:1), Arsenal (1:2) and Liverpool (1:2). Under the terms of the loan, one of the main defenders Ethan Ampadu will miss the match. John Fleck, Jack O’Connell and Lys Musset are injured.
