Spezia vs Lazio

Spezia will face off against Lazio on Friday in a bid to close the gap between the two teams, after losing all five of their previous matches against Lazio since December 2020. The match is set to kick off at 2:45 p.m. ET, and with the previous six of Spezia’s games being decided by just one goal, this matchup could be a tight one.

Spezia’s Recent Struggles and Lazio’s Streak

Spezia has been having a tough time lately, with their last win dating back to March 10th. They played a 1-1 draw against Fiorentina last weekend, but lost 2-1 in their previous matchup against Lazio in February of this year. Meanwhile, Lazio has been on a game-winning streak, securing their third victory in a row against Juventus last weekend with a final score of 2-1.

Spezia Hopes to Beat Lazio at Home

Spezia is still reeling from their previous matchup against Lazio in October 2021, where they suffered a 4-0 loss. This time, Spezia will have the home advantage and will hope to do better. However, Lazio is the solid favorite to win according to current Serie A odds, with a -140 edge. The over/under is set at 2.5 goals.
