Salernitana vs Lazio: Preview
Salernitana form analysis
The way Salernitana has played recently, they appear to be a team that is still being established and without confidence. They started with a heavy 0-3 away loss to Monza, totally outplayed from start to finish in a passive display. There was a glimmer of hope next game as they fought back from two goals down to draw 2-2 at home with Cagliari, with late strikes from Dia earning a point. However, familiar issues struck in their next match, losing 1-0 away at Genoa after more toothless attacking play.
Problems remained evident in their next game, losing 0-2 at home to Napoli’s scintillating attack in an expected defeat. Most recently they rallied from two behind to draw 2-2 away at Sassuolo thanks to goals from super sub Dia and Ikwuemesi after another slow start. Overall, Salernitana have lacked spark in the final third while also looking extremely fragile defensively. With just 2 goals scored in their last 4 games, adding attacking threat is crucial.
Lazio form analysis
Even though Lazio still has defensive problems, their current run of games has shown an explosive offensive that can outscore opponents. They started with a thrilling 3-2 home win over Atalanta thanks to an own goal, strikes from Castellanos and Vecino after equalizing twice. However, problems at the back were evident next game in a disappointing 1-0 away loss at Bologna, caught out by a clinical second half Ferguson finish despite dominating the play.
Back on track offensively, Lazio ground out a dramatic late 1-0 home win over Fiorentina courtesy of an Immobile penalty after wasting several chances. However their struggles in defense remained in their latest match, held to an uneventful 0-0 home draw by rivals Roma and unable to create openings besides the odd half chance. Overall, Lazio carry real threat going forward. But must improve defensively if they are to sustain a top 4 push this season after missing out last campaign.
