On the 7th of May, Lazio plays host to Sampdoria in a Serie A match. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 14 degrees, which will be a great treat for players. In their last match, 5th placed Lazio, recorded a 4-3 win against Spezia. Kelvin Amian struck first for Spezia in the 9th minute, but Ciro Immobile got the equalizer for Lazio in the 33rd minute But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback victory in the 90th minute on a goal by Francesco Acerbi. With 17 points in their last 10 matches Lazio should be reasonably happy with their performance, while 15th placed Sampdoria is fresh off their 1-0 shutout win against Genoa. Abdelhamid Sabiri struck first for Sampdoria in the 25th minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Genoa couldn’t muster any offence and Sampdoria ran away with the shutout win. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 6 of their last 10.
In their last match together, Lazio was victorious by a score of 3 to 1. Sergej Milinković-Savić struck first for Lazio in the 7th minute on a feed from Mattia Zaccagni, then Ciro Immobile added another in the 17th minute.
Francesco Caputo has been the most prolific scorer on Sampdoria in the last 5 matches with 2 goals. Lazio is fortunate enough to have Ciro Immobile in top form. In the last 5 matches the attacker has scored 6 goals.
