The Serie A returns to the fold with another round of matches this week as Fiorentina lock horns with Maurizio Sarri's Lazio side in an important encounter at the Stadio Artemio Franchi on Monday.
Fiorentina vs Lazio Preview
Lazio are currently in seventh place in the Serie A standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The away side eased past Torino by a comfortable 2-0 scoreline last week and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
Fiorentina, on the other hand, are in ninth place in the league table at the moment and are yet to hit their stride this season. La Viola were held to a 1-1 draw by Empoli in their previous game and will need to take it up a notch this weekend.
