Lazio are in stunning form, having won each of their last three games across all competitions. Last time out, the Eagles netted four times against Milan without reply, courtesy of efforts from Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Mattia Zaccagni, Luis Alberto and Felipe Anderson. It was their 11th league-win of the campaign. Prior to that, the White and Sky blues edged past Bologna 1-0 in the Copa del Rey round of 16 fixture. Lazio will meet Juventus in the quarter-finals of the domestic Cup competition later this month, before taking on CFR Cluj in the Europa Conference League knockout stage later next month.
Fiorentina, on the other hand, are heading into the match on the back of back-to-back league-defeats against Roma (2-0) and Torino (1-0). Viola lost to Torino last Sunday, through Aleksei Miranchuk’s lone goal three minutes into the half-hour mark. It was their eighth top flight defeat of the season. Meanwhile, Fiorentina will face Torino once again in the space of 10 days in the Copa del Rey last-8 stage. Vincenzo Italiano’s side edged past Sampdoria 1-0, through Antonin Barak’s 25th-minute strike, in the round of 16 match of the Copa del Rey last week. Like Lazio, they remain Europa Conference League challengers, and a two-legged contest with Braga is scheduled for next month.
Lazio Probable line-up: Provedel, Lazzari, Casale, Romagnoli, Marusic, Milinkovic,-Savic, Cataldi, Alberto, Pedro, Anderson, Zaccagni
Fiorentina probable line-up: Terracciano, Dodo, Milenkovic, Igor, Biraghi, Amrabat, Duncan, Ikone, Bonaventura, Gonzalez, Kouame
