Lazio host Sampdoria at the Stadio Olimpico in round 24 of Serie A on Monday (February 27).
While Maurizio Sarri’s men will look to move move into the top four, the visitors are languishing in the relegation zone.
Having secured a first leg 1-0 win over Cluj in the UEFA Conference League playoffs, Lazio held out for a goalless draw in Thursday’s return leg to secure their place in the last 16.
Sarri’s side now turn their attention to Serie A, where they picked up a 2-0 win over Salernitana on Sunday to end their three-game winless run. With 43 points from 23 games, Lazio are fifth in the league table but could rise to third with a win on Monday.
Meanwhile, Sampdoria failed to stop the rot last time out, as they were beaten 2-1 by Bologna at home. They have now failed to win their last eight games across competitions, losing six and drawing twice since a 2-1 win at Sassuolo on January 4.
With 11 points from 23 games, Sampdoria are 19th in the standings, eight points off 17th-placed Spezia outside the relegation zone.
