Lazio vs Empoli Prediction: Will Maurizio Sarri's team be able to rehabilitate themselves for the failure?

Last matchday Lazio unexpectedly lost to Lecce. Will Maurizio Sarri's team be able to rehabilitate themselves for this failure in the home game against Empoli?

In the match against Lecce, it seemed to be easy for Lazio. As early as the 14th minute, Ciro Immobile opened the scoring. Throughout the first half, the Romans controlled the game, creating chances and not allowing their opponents to do so. However, something went wrong in the second half. Lecce got back into the game, then scored. The result was an unexpected 1:2 defeat that knocked the Biancocelesti out of the Champions League competitions. Lazio is now in fifth place, three points behind the top four.

The Blues played their first match away against Udinese. The team opened the scoring thanks to Tommaso Baldanzi's efforts in the first half but could neither develop nor maintain their lead. Udine scored on 70 minutes, and then Empoli was left in the minority after a second yellow card to Jean Akpa-Akpro. So, the Blues were more than happy to win with a score of 1:1 at the end of the game. Empoli now has 18 points, 13th place in the standings, and a 9-point handicap from the relegation zone.

Last week's match against Lecce could not be other than a failure for Lazio. Of course, Maurizio Sarri's team will attack and fight for revenge against Empoli, and they will try by all means to make amends for that horrible defeat. Empoli is not the kind of opponent that Lazio can't expect to win three points. And the statistics of confrontation with the Blues in recent years are almost unequivocally in favor of the Biancocelesti.
