Lazio will host Cremonese at the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday in the penultimate round of the 2022-23 Serie A campaign.
The home side have had a largely solid campaign and are now targeting their highest-ever finish in the 21st century. They returned to winning ways last time out with a 1-0 win over Udinese, with team top scorer Ciro Immobile scoring the sole goal of the game just after the hour mark.
Lazio sit second in the Serie A table with 68 points from 36 games. They will be looking to pick up maximum points in their final home game of the season.
Cremonese, meanwhile, have struggled to adapt to life in the Italian top-flight this season and will return to Serie B next season. They were thrashed 5-1 by 10-man Bologna in their last game and were already five goals down before Daniel Ciofani scored a late consolation goal for Davide Ballardini's men.
The visitors sit 19th in the league table with just 24 points picked up so far. They have nothing left to play for this season but will look to return to winning ways on Sunday.
