Lazio will welcome Spezia to Stadio Olimpico for their Serie A Matchday Eight tie on Sunday afternoon.
Lazio have made an impressive start to Serie A this season as they have managed to collect 14 points from their seven matches, which have left them sitting fourth three points off the Napoli at the summit.
They are coming off a 4-0 victory over Massimiliano Alvini’s Cremonese at away in their previous league fixture. The victory marked their back-to-back Serie A victories on the bounce and they will be looking to extend that run on Sunday.
Maurizio Sarri’s side have won three of their four home league matches so far this season and they should feel confident of maintaining the record on Sunday.
Meanwhile Spezia have made an inconsistent start to the campaign as they have won two, drawn two and suffered three defeats from their opening seven matches. With eight points Spezia sit 12th in the league standings, one point outside the top half.
Luca Gotti’s side claimed a confidence-boosting 2-1 win over struggling Sampdoria last time out, ending their five-match winless run in the top flight. They will now be looking to build on the victory as they seek to make back-to-back wins and climb into the top half of the table.
However, they have fallen to Lazio in their last four Serie A meetings and they have also been struggling on the road this season, having lost all their three away fixtures. Therefore they have much to do come away with a victory on Sunday.
