The previous round ended in defeat for Cesare Prandelli’s charges. Firstly, an early goal from the Lazio players flew into their gates and, as it turned out later, it was not the only one, but Violets still managed to earn a penalty almost in the last minutes of the match and converted it. So the fight ended with the score of 1:2. In no way the obtained result did not change the standings of the Fiorentina team, as they were in 14th place and stayed on it. They have only 3 victorious confrontations for 7 defeats. Too few goals scored against rivals, but not so many goals conceded to their own, while 15 earned points, that’s all achievements of Violet to date.
Lazio is eighth with 25 points. This season the Romans are not as productive as in the past. It cannot be said that Lazio is performing poorly, but still something is missing. Immobile is still great, he almost single-handedly carries the whole team. However, even Ciro’s efforts were not enough in the match against Milan (2:3). The decisive goal was conceded in the very end. Draw with Genoa (1:1) is a clear loss of points. If Lazio wants to fight for high places, then they should not allow themselves to make mistakes in games with such opponents. The meeting with Fiorentina (2:1) turned out to be difficult. “Violets” did not let go far and constantly kept in suspense. But “Lazio” coped. Their next goal was scored by Immobile, which by the way, became victorious. Interesting statistics: after 16 matches played, Lazio has 25 goals scored, but also 25 goals conceded.
