Salernitana vs Lazio Prediction 25.11.2023

• Competition: Italy &— Serie A
• Date: Saturday, 25th, November 2023
• Kickoff: 14:00 UTC / 15.00 CET
• Venue: Stadio Arechi (Salerno)

Salernitana, the only team yet to secure a win in a season full of challenges, will welcome mid-table Lazio at the Stadio Arechi for the 13th matchday of the Italian top-flight on Saturday.

Just like their previous two top-tier seasons after promotion where they finished 17th and 15th, Salernitana once again aims to survive as their main objective. Sadly, Salernitana’s performance is trending downward, making avoiding relegation to Serie B seem like a mission impossible. Analyzing the top five strongest leagues in Europe, Salernitana has had the worst start of all, unsurprisingly placing them at the bottom of the Serie A table. They have only managed to secure a paltry five points from 12 games, finding themselves five points adrift of the safety zone.

Lazio’s performance in the ongoing 2023-24 season can best be described as “unrecognizable” in a negative sense, especially when talking about the visiting team. After their exceptional performance in the previous season where they surpassed all expectations and secured second place in Serie A, Biancocelesti started the new season aiming to win the Scudetto. However, Maurizio Sarri’s team not only failed to meet these expectations but is also lagging significantly behind, trailing Inter, the current leader, by a massive 14 points ahead of the 13th matchday. This leaves them with no other choice but to fight for a spot in the Champions League.

Salernitana vs Lazio Betting Tips: Lazio to Win

As the Serie A season progresses, Salernitana’s hope of survival is rapidly dwindling. Despite a managerial overhaul, which saw the legendary Filippo Inzaghi replace Paulo Sousa, the team is still struggling to find its form. Granata remains the only team yet to taste victory. A potentially euphoric moment for Granata fans was thwarted when their team squandered a two-goal lead against Sassuolo, resulting in a disappointing 2-2 draw. They even risked leaving the match empty-handed.

Indeed, Lazio is not the same team that clinched second place last season. However, they are coming into this match on the back of a narrow 1-0 win against Feyenoord and a goalless draw against Roma in the Derby della Capitale, just prior to the international break. Despite a few unexpected setbacks, Maurizio Sarri’s team is anticipated to take advantage of their opponent’s struggles and secure three vital points that could propel them towards the top of the Serie A table.

Adding to the equation that Biancocelesti have fared well against their Saturday rivals, securing victories in four of the past five matchups, and taking into account Salernitana’s failure to capitalize on a managerial shift, we opine that the Romans stand a good chance to earn the full three points from this outing.
