What Is Scoring In Both Halves?

3y ago

Lazio have been high-flying so far in the league, steamrolling their way to third place on the log, just six points adrift Inter Milan at the summit. Manager Simone Inzaghi has been receiving lots of plaudits for his team's performances this season, and quite rightly so.

There is a belief around the club, that if they continue to go about their business the right way, winning a couple of games on the trot in the coming weeks, they can really have a go at the Serie A title.

With a game against relegation-threatened Brescia on the cards, I Biacocelesti will be looking to seal all three points on the road, to continue their push for a top-four finish and potentially, the Serie A title challenge.

Brescia vs Lazio Team News

Despite salvaging a point against tough customers Parma on the last match-day, Brescia remain involved in a relegation dog-fight with the likes of Spal and Genoa. Sitting above these two teams in 18th-place, having amassed a measly 14 points from 17 games, the home side are desperate for a win in this fixture.

With the odds highly stacked against Eugenio Corini's side heading into the game, I Biancazzurri kept their heads low, digging really deep to post a 1-1 scorecard. Behind for most parts of the game, Alberto Grassi turned saviour for Brescia, firing home his first-ever goal for the club to bring the score level.

Ever since Corini returned to the dug-out, results and performances have improved significantly at the club, claiming seven points from their last four Serie A fixtures.

I Biancazzurri have been pretty mediocre on home turf this season, managing a single win, a draw and a massive six losses so far on this ground. In the process, they have averaged a goal every goal while conceding 2.13 at the other end of the pitch.

Lazio, on the other hand, were on cloud-9 last time out in the Supercoppa, handling Juventus a humiliating 3-1 defeat to eliminate the Italian giants from the competition. Simone Inzaghi’s men have been nothing short of outstanding across all competitions this season.

In fact, I Biancocelesti are yet to admit defeat since match-day six and are currently on a seven-game winning streak. Their last Serie A game saw them overcome resilient Cagliari in a thrilling 2-1 encounter. For the win, they were required to pull-off a comeback after going behind early in the game.

The visiting contingent have registered five wins, one draw and two losses on the road, scoring 1.75 goals per bout whilst conceding 1.13 in return.

Injured or Suspended Players:

Brescia: Daniele Dessena.

Lazio: Jordan Lukaku, Patric, Adam Marusic, Lucas Leiva, Luis Alberto.

Brescia vs Lazio Predictions

For this fixture, Lazio have to be considered overwhelming favorites for the win, without a doubt. They have the talent within the squad to pull off a comfortable victory over struggling Brescia.

The visitors have found goals very easy to come by this season. However, have in mind that Eugenio Corini's side have registered goals against Serie A top guns this season, including Juventus and Inter Milan.

As such, count on both teams to breach the other side, at least once, in this fixture with Lazio edging out the game very comfortably.
