Lazio will host Salernitana at the Stadio Olimpico on Friday in another round of the 2023-24 Serie A campaign.
The home side have endured a slow start to life under new boss Igor Tudor although they remain hopeful of securing European football. They were beaten 1-0 by arch-rivals Roma in their last match and could have no real complaints about the result after managing just one shot on target throughout the match.
Lazio sit eighth in the league table with 46 points from 31 matches and will be looking to add to that tally come Friday.
Salernitana, meanwhile, have struggled to pick up points in the league this season and are rapidly running out of time to save their top-flight status. They played out a 2-2 draw against Sassuolo in their last match finding themselves two goals down at the break before Antonio Candreva and Giulio Maggiore got on the scoresheet in the second half to help rescue a point for I Granata.
The visitors sit rock-bottom in the Serie A standings with just 15 points picked up so far and will be desperate for a win this weekend as they push to exit the drop zone.
