The Serie A returns to the fold with another round of matches this week as Spezia lock horns with Maurizio Sarri's impressive Lazio outfit in an important clash at the Stadio Alberto Picco on Friday.
Spezia vs Lazio Preview
Lazio are currently in second place in the Serie A standings and have been in excellent form so far this season. The Biancocelesti edged Juventus to a crucial 2-1 victory in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this week.
Spezia, on the other hand, are in 17th place in the league table at the moment and have not been at their best over the past year. The home side played out a 1-1 draw against Fiorentina last week and will need to take it up a notch in this fixture.
