Lazio - Salernitana predictions

This match is somewhat one-sided, but not the most imbalanced clash we’ve seen. The odds are heavily in the hosts’ favour, who will likely walk away with 3 more points to the tally.

From the present standpoint, the situation is clear as day. Considering the strength of Lazio and the 10.70 odds given to Salernitana to win, it is easy to conclude that a victory for the visiting team would be a surprising upset.

The Biancocelesti are coming off from a narrow 1:0 away defeat in the previous round. The home-field disadvantage and a very difficult match-up against Roma ensured that they spent most of the game trailing behind.

Salernitana barely managed to avoid a loss in their previous home game. Their opponents, Sassuolo, were seen as hard favourites in that matchup and snatched an early lead. Luckily, Salernitana equalized, and the game ended 2:2.

The previous two matches Lazio played in all ended with fewer than 2 goals at the final whistle. That doesn’t make for exciting football, but may be useful information if you’re planning a Goals Scored bet.

With 6 goals in their own net over the last 3 fixtures, Salernitana's backline has much to be wished for

The season is already in its latter stages, which is increasingly a problem for Salernitana They’re still in the relegation zone and the upcoming showdown is not exactly favourable to earn the 11 point they’ll need.

These two squads already clashed this season, and The Biancocelesti narrowly lost the bout. With a home-field advantage on their side, however, most bookies believe that they’re more likely to win this time.

This match is notable for the number of injuries reported prior by both sides. On one hand, the hosts will have to make do without Manuel Lazzari, Ivan Provedel, Mattia Zaccagni. On the other, the visitors will not be able to count on Grigoris Kastanos, Federico Fazio, Guillermo Ochoa, Toma Bašić. Both are in a precarious state, but you should take the importance of these players to the respective strategies before putting down a stake.

Despite the risks involved, the strongest prediction in terms of value is an HT/FT bet that the hosts will take lead in the second half. It’s as risky as you might expect, though the 1.33 odds offer a decent return.
