Salernitana vs Lazio Prediction, Match Preview, Live Stream, Odds and Picks

Both Suffered Heartbreaking Loss Last Week

No other Serie A team has allowed more goals than Salernitana. Even so, the Granata aren’t in the relegation zone, but losing to Lazio could leave them dangerously close to it.

As for Lazio, the Biancocelesti are losing ground in the UEFA Champions League race. In other words, we have a crucial match between two teams in a must-win situation, for which the visitors come in as the betting online favorites.

Let’s check the latest Serie A news, stats, injury reports, and Serie A lines for Salernitana vs Lazio. We’ve got plenty of Serie A picks for you to consider.

Salernitana: Derailed

Salernitana only won one of its last five games. During that span, it faced three powerhouses in Atalanta, Napoli and Juventus, losing to all three with a 13-2 aggregate, with two of those games being at home.

On Monday, Salernitana visited Hellas Verona and lost 1-0 despite winning possession with 64%. Cyril Ngonge scored the lone goal in the first half. The Granata took three shots on target but had no luck.

It seems like there’s no reason to include Salernitana in your soccer picks, but you would be wrong. Boulaye Dia is having a great season, enough to be the team’s top scorer with eight goals, scoring last in the 2-1 victory over Lecce a couple of weeks ago. Rumor has it that he’ll be playing in the English Premier League next season.

The +425 price it’s offering to win straight up also seems like a very good reason to bet on Salernitana, and although its home record isn’t the best, 3-3-5, it’s better than its numbers on the road, 2-3-6.

Lazio: No Margin for Error

Last Saturday, Lazio lost 2-0 to Atalanta at home despite winning possession with 61%. That result sent Lazio to sixth place, two points behind Atalanta, AS Roma and AC Milan. Those three teams are soccer betting favorites to win this weekend, meaning Lazio can’t afford to lose, not even draw.

The good news is that Lazio has the talent to spare on both sides of the field. Defensively, we’re talking about the third-best unit in the league, allowing 19 goals. Only Napoli and Juventus have allowed fewer goals.

Regarding the attack, Mattia Zaccagni leads the way with eight goals, followed by veteran Ciro Immobile with seven and Felipe Anderson with six. Lazio and Napoli are the only two teams with three players among the league’s top 20 scorers.

Lazio is offering a -150 price in the sportsbook to win straight up. Considering there are 18 points between the two and that Lazio is 5-3-2 when playing on the road, that’s a good deal.
