The Serie A features another round of high-octane matches this weekend as Lazio lock horns with Fiorentina at the Stadio Artemio Franchi on Saturday. Lazio have been impressive in recent weeks and are the favourites to win this game.
Fiorentina have endured a miserable campaign this year and are in 14th place in the Serie A standings at the moment. La Viola played out a 3-3 draw with Bologna in their previous game and will need to be at their best this weekend.
Lazio, on the other hand, have managed to overcome their early-season struggles and currently find themselves in sixth place in the league table. The Biancocelesti survived a scare against Genoa last week and have a point to prove in this fixture.
Fiorentina vs Lazio Head-to-Head
Lazio have an excellent record against Fiorentina and have won 26 games out of a total of 43 matches played between the two sides. Fiorentina have managed only 10 victories against Lazio and need to step up to the plate in this fixture.
The previous game between the two teams took place earlier this year and ended in a narrow 2-1 victory for Lazio. Fiorentina gave a good account of themselves on the day and will want to take it up a notch this weekend.

Lazio have found their feet in the Serie A in recent weeks and have five league victories on the trot. The Biancocelesti have excellent players in their ranks and have an outside chance of qualifying for the Champions League this year.
Fiorentina have been well below their best this season and the likes of Franck Ribery and Giacomo Bonaventura will need to bring their experience to the fore this weekend. Lazio are the better team, however, and should be able to win this game.
Prediction: Fiorentina 2-3 Lazio
